    Abstract:
    Castleman's disease of the pancreas is extremely rare. To the best of our knowledge, Castleman's disease arising around the main pancreatic duct has not been previously reported. The patient was a 74-year-old man. Abdominal ultrasonography performed at a health check-up revealed a dilated main pancreatic duct. Pancreatic cancer was strongly suspected on various imaging studies. However, the results of a cytological examination of the pancreatic juice were negative for malignancy. The patient did not want to undergo a histological diagnosis by endoscopic ultrasound-guided fine-needle aspiration, thus pylorus-preserving pancreatoduodenectomy was performed. Pancreatic Castleman's disease arising around the main pancreatic was diagnosed by the histopathological examination.
