Abstract:
Objective To raise the awareness of adrenal Castleman′s disease by analyzing the clinical features and management of a patient with adrenal Castleman′s disease. Methods A case of adrenal Castleman′s disease of our hospital was retrospectively analyzed, including clinical feature, laboratory findings, pathology, treatment, and follow-up. All the data and pertinent literatures were reviewed and analyzed. Results An incidentaloma measuring 4. 8 cm × 6. 3 cm in the right adrenal gland was observed in a 30-year-old men in a ultrasonography examination performed due to a medical check-up. Laboratory analysis showed that the lesion was not hyperfunctioning. The patient subsequently underwent an exploratory laparotomy. Pathological examination revealed retroperitoneally localized Castleman′s disease of the hyaline vascular type. Conclusion Adrenal Castleman′s disease is a rare cause of lymph node hypertrophy, and it is necessary to keep in mind the possibility of its occurrence and take it into consideration in the differential diagnosis of any solitary, heterogeneous, and hypervascular retroperitoneal mass. The proper cooperation between the clinician and pathologist allows early diagnosis and suitable therapy.
