頸部Castleman病の1症例

A Case of Castleman's Disease in the Neck

　はじめに

　Castleman病は胸腺腫に類似した組織像をもち縦隔に好発する，耳鼻咽喉科医にとって比較的稀な疾患である。今回われわれは，頸部に孤立性に発生したCastleman病の1症例を経験したので報告する。

Castleman's disease is a rare benign lymphoid neoplasm that is often presenting asymptomatically.

A 23-year-old male complained of a painlessmass in the right neck that was growing slowly over 2 years.

Preoperative CT scan, MRI and angiography find-ings suggested that the tumor was very hypervas-cular and had two main feeding arteries.

Operation was performed for diagnosis as well as treatment. Histopathological diagnosis was the hyaline-vascular type of Castleman's disease.
