“…There are 15 cases reports pelvic retroperitoneal cases of UCD published in literature. This will be the such 16 th case published in literature and 3 rd treated by laparoscopic surgery[3]. Last such case published in Feb 2020 was operated in 2019[3].…”

“…The pictures of surgery shared by the authors of laparoscopic surgery also appear almost similar.The consistency of the mass expressed was rubbery firm in the previous case reports while as in the present case it was firm too hard.Surgical approach was most commonly applied for UCD at different locations and these patients had overall high survival rate. If the excisional surgery is unsuccessful the mortality remains high[3] [11].…”

“…Pelvic unicentric CD is not easily diagnosed because of its low prevalence and non-specific imaging features; hence, most cases are usually confirmed by histopathologic examination after surgery or biopsy [4 , 13] . The differential diagnosis of a retroperitoneal mass includes lymphoma, sarcoma, metastasis, neural tumor, desmoid tumor, and granulomatous disease [5 , 8 , 12] .…”

Castleman's disease (CD) or angiofollicular lymphoid hyperplasia is a rare disorder with unknown aetiology that can easily be misdiagnosed as lymphoma, neoplasm, or infection. Diagnosis is challenging due to its non-specific symptoms and radiologic signs as well as its rarity. We report a case of a middle-aged woman with a mass adjacent to the uterus that was accidentally detected by ultrasound; it was believed to be of ovarian origin. Subsequently, the patient underwent a successful tumorectomy. Pathological examination confirmed the hyaline–vascular type of CD in a pelvic location. This was a typical case of an asymptomatic unicentric and hyaline–vascular type of CD.

Introduction and importance Castleman's disease was first reported by Benjamin Castleman et al., in 1954 and described it as a sporadic lymphoproliferative disorder. The pathophysiology to this day is still unknown, although IL-6 is suspected to play an important role. Preoperative diagnosis is challenging due to its non-specific symptoms, and that imaging cannot clearly distinguish the disease from other processes. High clinical awareness is necessary to reach a diagnosis. If the disease is localized, complete recovery can be achieved through surgery. Case presentation Patient is a 68-year-old woman with a three-month history of recurrent episodes of fever, myalgias, and night sweats. She started to experience lower abdominal pain and presented to the emergency room. A contrast-enhanced abdominal computed tomography revealed a 5 cm well-circumscribed focal heterogeneously enhancing hyperplastic mass between the portal vein and the inferior vena cava. After successful laparoscopic surgery, the mass was resected, and the patient fully recovered. Unicentric Castleman's disease was the final diagnosis. Discussion and conclusion Castleman's disease is an uncommon pathology with a challenging diagnosis. When approaching an abdominal mass, unicentric Castleman's disease should always be a differential diagnosis, as treatment can be curative with surgical resection. With the advent of laparoscopic and robotic surgery, these techniques can improve patients' outcomes in these rare pathologies, especially when they appear in complex regions.
