Abstract
Castleman disease is a rare and benign disorder, characterized by enlarged lymph nodes and angiofollicular lymphoid hyperplasia. We report a case of a 57-year-old male, who was admitted to our surgical department because of a retroperitoneal nodular mass measuring about 4 cm in maximum diameter, incidentally discovered on a radiologic exam performed for the onset of vague abdominal pain with posterior irradiation. The patient was subdue to laparoscopic removal of the mass and no intra- and post-operative complications were recorded. Histologic diagnosis of hyaline-vascular variant of the Castleman disease was confirmed. Only two cases have been found in the literature reporting the paraduodenal unicentric Castleman disease localization like our case. Although rare, the Castleman disease must be considered in the differential diagnosis among all the lymph nodes diseases, for avoiding improper therapies.

Abstract
The Castleman Disease (CD), also recognized as giant lymph node hyperplasia or vascular follicular lymphoid hyperplasia, is an infrequent lymphoproliferative disorder with substantial clinical variability. Parapharyngeal location of this disease is very rare and in pediatric population it is even rarer. This article presents a case of Unicentric CD (hyaline vascular type) in an 8-year-old female, where the disease was localized within the parapharyngeal space. Clinical manifestations were limited to the presence of a local mass, with no other specific symptoms observed. Laboratory assessments revealed no significant abnormalities. She underwent surgery using a cervical-parotid approach and experienced a good postoperative recovery. Histopathological analysis confirmed the diagnosis. This case underscores the need for a comprehensive evaluation and consideration of uncommon etiologies in the assessment of parapharyngeal masses, even in pediatric patients.

Abstract
Castleman disease (CD) is a group of rare and complex lymphoproliferative disorders that can manifest in two general forms: unicentric CD (UCD) and multicentric CD (MCD). These two forms differ in clinical manifestation, imaging appearances, treatment options, and prognosis. UCD typically manifests as a solitary enlarging mass that is discovered incidentally or after development of compression-type symptoms. MCD usually manifests acutely with systemic symptoms including fever and weight loss. As a whole, CD involves lymph nodes throughout the chest, neck, abdomen, pelvis, and axilla and can have a wide variety of imaging appearances. Most commonly, lymph nodes or masses in UCD occur in the chest, classically with well-defined borders, hyperenhancement, and possible characteristic patterns of calcification and/or feeding vessels. Lymph nodes affected by MCD, while also hyperenhancing, tend to involve multiple nodal chains and manifest alongside anasarca or hepatosplenomegaly. The polyneuropathy, organomegaly, endocrinopathy, monoclonal plasma cell disorder, and skin changes (POEMS) subtype of MCD may demonstrate lytic or sclerotic osseous lesions in addition to features typical of MCD. Since a diagnosis of CD based solely on imaging findings is often not possible, pathologic confirmation with core needle biopsy and/or surgical excision is necessary. Nevertheless, imaging plays a crucial role in supporting the diagnosis of CD, guiding appropriate regions for biopsy, and excluding other potential causes or mimics of disease. CT is frequently the initial imaging technique used in evaluating potential CD. MRI and PET play important roles in thoroughly evaluating the disease and determining its extent, especially the MCD form. Complete surgical excision is typically curative for UCD. MCD usually requires systemic therapy. ©RSNA, 2023 Quiz questions for this article are available in the supplemental material.
