%X Castleman′s disease, or angiofollicular lymph node hyperplasia, is a relatively rare disorder characterized by the benign proliferation of lymphoid tissue. Two clinical entities have been described: Unicentric with the disease confined to a single anatomic lymph node and multicentric characterized by generalized lymphadenopathy and more aggressive clinical course. Also, three histopathological subtypes have been described: Hyaline-vascular, plasma cell, and a mixed variant. Preoperative diagnosis of hyaline-vascular Castleman′s disease is difficult, and the definitive result is based on postoperative pathological findings. The gold standard therapy is the complete surgical excision.
