  • Title: Unicentric Castleman's disease in peripancreatic tissue: case report and review of the literature.
    Author: Talarico F, Negri L, Iusco D, Corazza GG.
    Journal: G Chir; 2008 Apr; 29(4):141-4. PubMed ID: 18419976.
    Abstract:
    Castleman's disease is a rare disorder of the lymphoid tissue that usually occurs in the mediastinum even if extrathoracic involvement, including neck, axilla, mesentery and retroperitoneum, has also been described. We report a case of a 69 years old men with peripancreatic localisation, mimicking a pancreatic neoplasm treated with local excision. Only seven cases of pancreatic and peripancreatic localisation are described in the world-wide literature. This particular site of disease may give troublesome differential diagnosis due to non specific clinical signs and radiological features. Often surgical excision is both diagnostic and therapeutic.
