Abstract
OBJECTIVE To investigate the clinical manifestation,diagnosis and treatment of Castleman disease(CD)in the neck. METHODS The data of 2 patients with pathological proved CD in the neck,who were seen in our hospital,were reviewed retrospectively in order to analyze their clinical manifestations,clinical and histological types, imaging characteristics and treatment. RESULTS The age of onset were 24 and 29 years respectively. Both of them only presented as a solitary,painless neck mass and met the criteria of localized CD, and also had histological evidence of the hyaline vascular variant. Complete surgical resection was the first treatment.Both of them were alive without evidence of recurrence for one year and half a year respectively. CONCLUSION CD in the neck often presents as localized lesion,which often presents as a progressive, painless, slowly growing lymph node enlargement that is generally asymptomatic. The locations most commonly are the cervical lymph nodes. CD in the neck is almost always the hyaline-vascular variant and complete surgical excision of the tumor is the best treatment.
