[Mediastinal Castleman's disease].
1995
: Castleman's disease(CD) is an uncommon lymph node syndrome, generally located in mediastinum side, rarely systemic. Two histhologic types are described: the more common, termed the hyaline-vascular type, generally asymptomatic, and the second termed plasma cell type, with systemic manifestations of the disease, like fever, anemia and weight loss. The authors present a case of a young man with Castleman's disease, treated by prednisone without reduction of the adenopathy, and thus successfully operated, and discuss about aetiopathogenic theories and treatment of this disease.
