A 27-year-old male underwent total thyroidectomy for thyroid swelling. Histopathology showed papillary thyroid carcinoma [T3 - 6.0 cm] with extra-thyroidal extension. The patient was treated with 150 mCi radioactive iodine(RAI) as adjuvant ablative therapy. Radioiodine refractory disease was identified 1-year post-RAI therapy with elevated thyroglobulin levels and negative I-131 whole body scan. F-18 FDG positron emission tomography/computedtomography scan showed activity in the right thyroid bed and multilevel right cervical nodes. Right-sided modified neck dissection was done, which showed Castleman disease (hyaline vascular type) in right cervical nodes. The most probable cause of elevated tumour markers was found out to be 0.6 cm right thyroid bed nodule on follow-up ultrasonography. Our patient also had coexistent conditions as; osteopoikilosis and Hepatitis C along with thyroid carcinoma.Key words: Castleman disease, lymph node, radioiodine, thyroid cancer

Castleman's disease of the kidney is extremely rare. We present a case of Castleman's disease in the left kidney with multiple para-aortic enlarged lymph nodes. Both the renal lesion and para-aortic lymph nodes showed hypervascularity on enhanced CT and minimally increased FDG uptake on FDG PET/CT, mimicking renal cell carcinoma with para-aortic nodal metastases. This case suggests that Castleman's disease should be considered as a rare differential diagnosis in patients with a hypervascular and hypermetabolic renal lesion.
