A case report of retroperitoneal Castleman disease

View through CrossRef
Castleman disease (CD) is an uncommon lymphoproliferative disorderand is especially rare in the retroperitoneum or perirenalarea. We report the case of a 42-year-old woman in whom we foundon routine physical examination a mass localized in the rightabdomen without clinically important constitutional symptoms for30 days. Abdominal ultrasound, magnetic resonance images andcomputed tomography scans revealed a solid mass localized justbelow the right kidney in the retroperitoneum. The patient subsequentlyunderwent an exploratory laparotomy. Pathological examinationrevealed a right retroperitoneal mass of CD (hyaline vasculartype). The patient completely recovered after surgery. Castlemandisease is commonly misdiagnosed as malignant lymphoma,lymphadenitis or ectopic thymoma. So far, its diagnosis is mainlyachieved via histopathological examination of surgically obtainedtissue. After removal of the lesion, local CD has a good prognosis.La maladie de Castleman est un trouble lymphoprolifératif rare,surtout dans les régions rétropéritonéale ou périrénale. Nousdécrivons le cas d'une femme de 42 ans chez qui un examenphysique de routine a révélé la présence d'une masse localiséeau côté droit de l'abdomen sans que cette patiente n'affiche desymptômes constitutionnels d'importance clinique pendant 30 jours.Des images obtenues par échographie abdominale, par IRM et partomodensitométrie ont révélé la présence d'une masse solide situéejuste en dessous du rein droit dans la région rétropéritonéale.
