A doença de Castleman multicêntrica é caracterizada por adenopatias generalizadas, visceromegalias, manifestações autoimunes e infecções recorrentes. Este artigo apresenta o relato de caso de anemia hemolítica autoimune por anticorpos quentes em paciente com doença de Castleman multicêntrica. Resposta eficaz foi obtida com uso de corticoterapia sistêmica e tocilizumabe.Descritores: Hiperplasia do linfonodo gigante, anemia hemolítica autoimune, anticorpos monoclonais.Castleman disease is a rare lymphoproliferative disorder that can manifest as localized masses or as multicentric disease.
