    Abstract:
    Castleman disease is a rare lymphoproliferative disorder presenting frequently with constitutional symptoms. Although pleural effusion is common, there is only one case report of an adult patient with chylous pleural effusion. We present the first case report of a hypervascular variant of Castleman disease presenting as a chylous pleural effusion and successfully treated with a combination of anti-interleukin-6 agent and steroids.
