A Rare Case of Hilar Mass Lesion- Castleman’s Disease

Abstract

Castleman’s disease (CD) is an uncommon, lymphoproliferative disease that shares common lymph node histological features. Its aetiology and incidence are unknown. It can affect lymph nodes of any body area, imitating both benign and malignant malformations. Clinically it manifests as the unicentric (localized or unifocal) Castleman disease (UCD) and the less common multicentric (generalized or multifocal) Castleman disease (MCD). In this paper we report a case of a 24 years old gentleman who presented with an incidental radiological finding of a right hilar mass lesion led to a histological diagnosis of this rare condition by Endobronchial ultrasound-guided transbronchial needle aspiration (EBUS TBNA)
