title: [Castleman's benign lymphoma].
abstract: The Authors, when presenting a personal case of CBL, make a critical revision of the literature, summing up the evolution of knowledge of this morbid picture. They analyse and discuss the aetiological theories suggested by other Authors on the basis of clinical and anatomopathological criteria. Lastly they evidence the difficulty of diagnosis both for the clinical physician and for the anatomopathologist, since there are numerous pathological pictures which may simulate CBL in the symptoms when present, the x-ray aspects and even the anatomohistological examination.
