“…Ultimately, biopsy of an enlarged lymph node or mass is mandatory for differential diagnosis. 52 Treatment of localized CD not associated with HHV-8 infection generally is surgical resection, with or without radiotherapy, 13,35,53,54 this is almost always curable, resulting in rapid resolution of systemic symptoms and laboratory abnormalities. At present, there is no consensus about the optimal management strategy for patients with the multicenteric form of CD.…”

Castleman's disease (CD) is a group of rare lymphoproliferative disorders sharing characteristic clinical and histological features, and usually accompanied by a marked systemic inflammatory response. Three histological patterns of lymph nodes were described: the hyaline-vascular, the plasma-cell and the mixed types. The former is more common (80%-90%) and tends to be localized. The plasma cell type is more aggressive and usually multicentric. It is interesting that the inflammatory manifestations seem to be related to a lymph node lesion, because the systemic symptoms and inflammatory activity can return to normal after surgical excision or successful medical treatment of the disease. We report here our 15-year experience with this rare disease in King Fahd Hospital of the University, Al-Khobar, Saudi Arabia, focusing on the clinical features, therapy, and patients'outcome.

Highlights Castleman disease is an overgrowth of lymphatic cells, usually in the chest or abdomen. Multicentric Castleman disease affects lymphatic cells throughout the body. HHV-8 and HIV have been associated with multicentric Castleman disease. Unicentric Castleman disease affects a single group of lymph nodes. Centricity is considered the most important indicator of patient outcomes.
