Enfermedad de Castleman multicentrica. Reporte de caso

Abstract

Background: Angiofollicular lymph node hyperplasia, giant lymphoid hyperplasia, lymphoid hamartoma, follicular lymphoreticuloma, or Castleman's disease is characterized by non-clonal hyperplastic lymph node growth. Despite its low incidence and prevalence, it has high morbidity and mortality when diagnosed late. Case Description: We describe a case of a patient who came in with an increased neck volume present for approximately 4 years, characterized by swelling in the left cervical region, accompanied by balance alterations followed by asthenia, and pain in the right arm. Conclusions: Castleman's disease is a rare pathology with histological variety. Even though clinical manifestations present late as a consequence of monoclonal proliferation, there should be diagnostic suspicion when facing a woman of childbearing age with multiple adenopathies.
