“…The unicentric (solitary) form commonly presents as a mass in mediastinum. It can also be found outside the thorax (both nodal and extranodal), for example on the neck, arm, abdomen, vulva, and pericardium1,16. The multicentric form shows generalized lymphadenopathy and various systemic symptoms.…”

Castleman's disease (CD) is an uncommon B-cell lymphoproliferative disorder characterized by lymph node hyperplasia with vascular proliferation. Cutaneous involvement in CD is rare. A 65-year-old man presented with a 7-year history of gradually developing multiple reddish to violaceous indurated plaques on the scalp, trunk, and legs. On physical examination, there were palpable enlarged cervical, axillary, and inguinal lymph nodes. Laboratory examination revealed anemia, thrombocytosis, hyperproteinemia, hypoalbuminemia, and polyclonal hypergammaglobulinemia. An inguinal lymph node biopsy and a skin biopsy were performed and the patient was diagnosed with the plasma cell type of CD. Chemotherapy was started and the lesions have responded to treatment.

“…Cutaneous involvement has been considered rare in CD, particularly in the HV‐type 5,6 . Our case is unusual in that an HV‐type initially manifested with constellation of multicentric cutaneous involvement and systemic symptoms both of which are more characteristic of the PC‐type 3 .…”

“…[24][25][26][27] Cutaneous involvement by multicentric Castleman disease appears to have a more striking histologic picture, with deep dermal and subcutaneous nodular infiltrates of polyclonal plasmacytoid cells, vascular proliferations, and germinal centers. Similarities between these two diseases include lymphadenopathy with intranodal plasma cell infiltrates, typically in an interfollicular distribution, and increased IL-6 levels.…”

Cutaneous plasmacytosis is a rare disorder that typically affects middle-aged to older individuals of Asian, particularly Japanese, descent. Clinically, it is characterized by multiple asymptomatic red-brown plaques and nodules on the trunk. Lymphadenopathy and hypergammaglobulinemia may be present. Histologically, the lesions show a moderately dense superficial and deep perivascular infiltrate composed predominantly of mature plasma cells without atypia or light chain restriction. We report our experience with five additional cases, including results of immunohistochemical studies for human herpes virus 8.
