Abstract:
Castleman's disease (CD) is an unusual benign lymphoproliferative disorder of unknown etiology and pathogenesis. It most commonly occurs in the mediastinum, but rarely in the axilla or neck. CD has been rarely reported at pediatric age in Korea. Here we report a 17-month-old male patient with histopathologically proven cervical & axillary CD of the hyline vascular type who presented with a painless axillary palpable mass and was treated with a complete excision of the neck & axilla mass without complication.
