RESUMO

A doença de Castleman ou hiperplasia angiofolicular dos gânglios linfáticos, é uma entidade pouco frequente e de origem desconhecida. Dois padrões histológicos distintos foram descritos: o tipo hialinovascular e o plasmo-celular. É classificada em dois subgrupos major: doença localizada e doença multicentrica.

Os autores apresentam o caso de um homem de 26 anos, assintomático com doença de Castleman hialino-vascular do mediastino, detectada casualmente numa telerradiografia torácica. Nio haviam altera clinicas nem analiticas. Várias broncoscopias realizadas foram inconclusivas. A toracotomia revelou uma grande massa cujo exame anatomopatológico confirmou o diagnóstico.

ABSTRACT

Castleman’s disease, or angiofollicular lymph node hyperplasia, Is an uncommon disorder of unknown origin. Two distinct histological patterns have been described: hyaline vascular type and plasma-cell type. It is currently classified into two major subgroups: localized disease and multicentric disease.

We report an asymptomatic case of a 26-years·old man with hyaline vascular Castleman·s disease of the mediastinum detected Incidentally by thoracic radiograph. No clinical and no laboratory anomalies were present Several broncoscopies have been inconclusive. Thoracotomy revealed a large mass and histopathological study confirmed the diagnosis.
