Abstract

Introduction:

Castleman's disease is an extremely rare disease in the abdomen region characterized by benign lymphoepithelial proliferation.

Case Presentation:

We report a case of a 63-year-old female who presented with abdominal pain. Abdominal CT Angio and dynamic contrast-enhanced abdominal MRI revealed a mass lesion showing markedly contrast enhancement, no vascular invasion sign, and diffusion restriction lesion in the truncus coelicus bifurcation region. The mass was surgically resected completely. Pathological evaluation showed a hyaline-vascular type of Castleman’s disease.

Conclusion:

Castleman's disease should be kept in mind in the differential diagnosis of an isolated intra-abdominal mass.
