    Journal: Int J Urol; 2000 Jan; 7(1):22-5. PubMed ID: 10701887.
    Abstract:
    Castleman's disease, or angiofollicular lymph node hyperplasia, is a fairly rare benign tumor of lymphoid origin. The expected localization is mediastinum and rarely retroperitoneum. An asymptomatic case is reported with multimodality imaging and postoperative findings. The lesion was detected incidentally on routine chest radiogram. Surgical exploration revealed a retroperitoneal mass and the mass was resected successfully through a thoracoabdominal flank incision. Castleman's disease should be included in the list of differential diagnosis of retroperitoneal masses which are mostly malignant tumors.
