“…Cervical localization usually involves retropharyngeal or parapharyngeal neck spaces [7]. The location of the disease within the parotid gland is very rare and very few cases have been reported to date [8]. In a recent literature review by Xiao-dong et al [9], only 20 cases of parotid gland involvement were reported, with a significant proportion of affected individuals being young adults, consistent with our case.…”

Background: Castleman disease (CD) is an uncommon benign lymphoproliferative disease characterized by hypervascular lymphoid hyperplasia. We present a unique case of unicentric CD of the parotid gland treated by preoperative direct puncture embolization. Case presentation: A 27-year-old female patient was admitted for a right neck mass. Ultrasound examination and MRI scan documented a hypervascular mass within the right parotid gland. Preoperative embolization was performed by direct puncture technique: a needle was inserted into the core of the mass under both ultrasound and fluoroscopic guidance and SQUID 12 was injected into the mass under fluoroscopic control, achieving a total devascularization. Conclusion: Preoperative direct puncture embolization was safe and effective and provides excellent hemostatic control during the surgical operation, limiting the amount of intraoperative bleeding.

“…Most commonly, CD is classified clinically as unicentric CD (UCD) or multicentric CD (MCD) and histologically as hyaline vascular variant (HVV) or plasma cell variant (PCV) [3, 4]. CD occurs throughout the body on surfaces such as the chest [5], neck [6], abdomen, pelvis [7], axilla [8], and on rare occasions the lung [9], parotid gland [10], and pancreas [11].…”

Background Castleman disease (CD) is a group of uncommon lymphoproliferative disorders that is easily confused with lymphoma or other solid tumors. The purpose of our study was to evaluate the imaging and clinical findings of CD, and thus improve the understanding and diagnosis of CD. Methods This retrospective study included 74 patients (37 men and 37 women, mean age ± standard deviation, 35 ± 15.2 years,) with histopathologically confirmed CD diagnosed based on CT or MRI between January 2010 and May 2017. The CT and MRI findings were analyzed by two radiologists in consensus, and clinical presentation and histopathologic characteristics were documented. Results The CD subtypes included 61 hyaline vascular variant cases (82.4%) and 13 plasma cell variant cases (17.6%). Unicentric CD and multicentric CD were observed in 65 (87.8%) and 9 (12.2%) patients, respectively. On non-enhanced CT, enlarged nodes with hypodensity or isodensity were seen, whereas varying degrees of enhancement were observed in contrast-enhanced CT. Homogeneous and heterogeneous enhancements were observed in 43 (62.3%) and 26 (37.7%) patients, respectively. Hypertrophied vessels and calcification were detected in 38 (51.2%) and 18 (24.3%) patients, respectively. MRI revealed hypointense to isointense lesions on T1-weighted images, isointense to hyperintense lesions on T2-weighted images, and hyperintense lesions on diffusion-weighted imaging; 9 (75%) and 3 (25%) patients demonstrated homogeneous and heterogeneous enhancement, respectively. Conclusion CD often shows well-defined, mildly hypodense or isodense, homogeneous lymph nodules on non-enhanced CT/MRI, with intermediate and marked enhancement on contrast-enhanced CT/MRI. Calcification and hypertrophied vessels may be valuable diagnostic features.

“…The localized CD only affects a single group of lymph nodes and lymph nodes in the chest or abdomen are affected most often. The mediastinum is the most common site, accounting for 60% of cases and the neck is involved in only 14% [3]. Multicentric CD affects more than a single group of lymph nodes.…”

Castleman's disease, also known as angiofollicular lymph node hyperplasia, is a heterogeneous group of lymphoproliferative disorders. It is a rare disease and difficult to diagnose preoperatively. Localized Castleman's disease is almost always hyaline vascular variant type. We present the case of a 30-year-old male with swelling over the left side of the neck for 10 years which was diagnosed as Castleman's disease on histopathology.
