Abstract:
We report a case of Castleman`s disease of the hyaline-vascular type which was located in retroperitoneum. A 20-year-old girl was admitted because of a history of postprandial epigastric discomfort. Computed tomography of the abdomen demonstrated a solid 7 x 7 cm mass between the abdominal aorta and the left kidney in the retroperitoneum. At surgery, a solid 9 x 8 x 6 cm tumor was resected. Pathologic diagnosis was Castleman`s disease of the hyaline-vascular type.
