Two cases of Castleman Disease with Nonspecific Clinical Presentations
Author(s):
Abstract:
Castleman disease (CD) is a rare, lymphoproliferative disorder of uncertain etiology. We are reporting on twocases of Castleman disease. Both patients were female. This disease can be found wherever lymph nodes are present. We have reported two unusual cases of Castleman disease. A 29- year old woman was referred for evaluation because of a cervical lymph node, weight loss and night sweats. There was a history of Hodgkin’s disease. A 80- year old woman was referred to the oncology clinic because of progressive generalized pruritus and vertigo, weight loss, night sweats and fever. In two cases, a biopsy of the cervical lymph node revealed a plasma cell variant of Castleman disease.CD can present symptoms in patients. Therefore, clinical, hematological and histological features of lymph node revealed a plasma cell variant which can be suggestive of Castleman disease.
