Castleman's disease: unusual intrathoracic localization

Eur J Cardiothorac Surg. 2001 Apr;19(4):519-21. doi: 10.1016/s1010-7940(01)00613-3.

Abstract

Chest-wall is a rare localization of Castleman's disease. The tumour is often diagnosed after onset of non-specific thoracic symptoms but can be occasionally detected in asymptomatic patients. Surgical removal is curative and should be conservative with no recurrences. We report a new case and we review the international literature.
