Abstract:
Castleman disease(CD)is a rare lymphoproliferative disorder with an unclear etiology and pathogenesis.This article reports a case of unicentric Castleman disease(UCD)occurring in the submandibular region.The patient presented with a painless submandibular mass.Imaging studies revealed a well-defined,hypervascular lesion,and histopathological examination confirmed the diagnosis of plasma cell-type CD.Submandibular CD is exceptionally rare and can be easily misdiagnosed as lymphadenitis or lymphoma,necessitating a com-bination of imaging and pathological examinations for differential diagnosis.This case report provides valuable insights into diagnosis and management of CD.
