Doença de Castleman multicêntrica: Relato de um caso

Resumo

Castleman's disease (CD) is an uncommon lymphoproliferative disorder that is morphologically and clinically heterogeneous. Both a localized benign variant and a multicentric form with systemic manifestations have been described. Although there are many published cases in literature, there are a few reports about this pathology in Brazil. We describe a patient with several manifestations of multicentric CD: lymphadenopathy, weight loss, fever, arthralgia, myalgia, and hepatosplenomegaly. Pathological examination of excised cervical lymph node revealed its rarest form: a CD of the hyaline-vascular type in multicentric presentation.
