Abstract:
Castleman's disease (angiofollicular lymph node hyperplasia) is a large benign tumor. Most of the lesion are located in mediastinum, but some presents as an isolated retroperitoneal mass radiographically indistinguishable from retroperitoneal malignancy. We report a case of the hyaline-vascular variant of Castleman's disease presenting as a palpable abdominal mass.
