Mediastinal Castleman Disease: Preoperative Radiological Evaluation of Vascularity

Abstract: Castleman disease is an uncommon lymphoproliferative disorder of unknown cause. In most cases, afflicted patients present with a mediastinal mass, although the disease may rarely manifest in different visceral organs. The most typical structural finding is hypervascularity which can be well demonstrated both by MRI and CT. We present the findings of CT, CT angiography, MRI and histopathology in a 38-year-old man with mediastinal Castleman disease. Hypervascularity of the lesion was shown with noninvasive CT an… Show more

“…With angiography, bronchial, internal mammarial or intercostal arteries feeding the vascular tumor can be displayed. 10 Conventional T1 and T2-weighted magnetic resonance (MRI) and dynamic MR images do not provide different information from CT. 11 In imaging with MRI, the lymph nodes of the CD appear as solid masses. The mass displays medium or high signal intensity in the T1-weighted series compared to the muscles, and mild hyperintense in the T2-weighted series.…”
