Abstract: We present a case of PNP associated with Castleman's Disease. We have also reviewed the literature and described the characteristics of the two associated diseases. Gene clonal rearrangement was done to help diagnosis. We used, in addition, stereotactic radiosurgery which, as far as we know, has never before been employed to treat PNP associated with Castleman's Disease. This produced a good response, suggesting that it might be a good alternative treatment for PNP associated with Castleman's Disease when it i… Show more

“…Previous studies reported the following as CD-associated cutaneous disorders: PNP (13), lichenoid eruptions (14), nodular eruptions (8), maculopapular eruptions (8), KS (15), autoimmune bleeding disorders, POEMS syndrome (16), cutaneous necrotizing vasculitis, and plane xanthoma (8). PNP is the most well-known CD-associated cutaneous disorder (17)(18)(19)(20)(21)(22)(23)(24)(25)(26). UCD is one of the most common causes of PNP, along with non-Hodgkin lymphoma and other haematological neoplasms (27).…”

“…The rarity of the disease also influences the therapeutic approach, no unique therapeutic regimens being unanimously accepted [ 3 , 9 , 10 , 11 , 12 ]. Disease associations include the POEMS syndrome (Polyneuropathy, Organomegaly, Endocrinopathy, M-protein, and Skin changes) [ 13 , 14 ], Kaposi sarcoma, pemphigus, refractory anemia, nephrotic syndrome, amyloidosis [ 15 , 16 , 17 ]. Associations with lymphoid malignancies have been described and these include: diffuse large- B cell lymphoma, mantle cell lymphoma, peripheral T-cell lymphoma and lymphoplasmacytic lymphoma, follicular lymphoma [ 18 ].…”
