Diagnosis With Brief Discussion

Diagnosis
Castleman's disease (Hyaline vascular type)
Radiologic Findings
Well defined mass is noted anterior to right inferior pulmonary vein on low dose screening CT scan (Fig 1).
Contrast enhanced CT scan shows well enhanced mass anterior to right inferior pulmonary vein (Fig 2). CT attenuation of the mass was 132HU.
Brief Review
Castleman disease is not a distinct disease entity, but rather it is a diverse group of rare lymphoproliferative disorders of differing histopathologic properties and biologic behavior. It is classified into two major subgroups: localized Castleman disease and disseminated Castleman disease. There are two major histologic variants: hyaline-vascular Castleman disease and plasma cell Castleman disease. Most patients with localized thoracic Castleman disease have hyaline-vascular Castleman disease. Localized hyaline-vascular Castleman disease affects individuals of all age groups, with a peak incidence in the fourth decade of life. Female patients are more commonly affected.
On CT images, it manifests as a homogenous or heterogeneous soft tissue mass with marked enhancement. McAdams et al. reported three morphologic patterns: (a) a solitary mass, (b) a dominant infiltrative mass with associated lymphadenopathy, (c) diffuse lymphadenopathy confined to a single mediastinal compartment. Identification of the solitary mass pattern suggests that complete surgical resection is likely.
