Castleman’s disease in the abdomen in children Clinical and sonographics findings: Case report and review of literature
Main Article Content
Abstract
Castleman’s disease, also known as angiofollicular lymph node hyperplasia, is a rare benign disease, has two principal histologic types are hyaline-vascular and plasma cell types, can be unicentric or multicentric. The disease is usually detected by imaging diagnostic tools, but difficult to diagnose accurately before surgery and is easily confused with malignant disease. We present 5 cases of hyaline vascular unicentric Castleman disease in the abdomen, had been operated at Children's Hospital N01, we investigated the ultrasound characteristics and reviewed literature.
