Castleman’s Disease: General Information and Clinical Cases
https://doi.org/10.37174/2587-7593-2026-9-1-53-59
Abstract
The article presents two clinical cases of the local variant of Castleman’s disease in women aged 29 and 46. Both patients had no complaints, and pathological lesions in the abdominal cavity were revealed in routine US-examinations. In the first case, the preoperative contrast–enhanced CT scans with typical findings allowed us to make the correct diagnosis. In the second case, an atypical CT picture of the detected lesion did not allow us to specify the preoperative diagnosis. Both patients were successfully operated on, but in the second case with intraoperative technical difficulties. Based on the morphological examination of the removed lesions, the final diagnosis was made — Castleman’s disease (hyaline vascular type).
