  • Title: Mesenteric Castleman's disease: report of a case.
    Author: Kimura T, Inoue T, Katayama K, Hirose K, Imamura Y, Yamaguchi A.
    Journal: Surg Today; 2002; 32(7):651-4. PubMed ID: 12111527.
    Abstract:
    A 77-year-old woman was admitted with intermittent abdominal dull pain. Hypochromic anemia, hypergammaglobulinemia, and elevated C-reactive protein were found in this case. Ultrasonography, computed tomography, magnetic resonance imaging, and angiography indicated either mesenteric leiomyoma or leiomyosarcoma, but no definitive preoperative diagnosis could be established. A surgical resection of the tumor revealed a mesenteric Castleman's tumor with small daughter lymphoid tumors of plasma cell type.
