title: Report of a case of localized Castleman's disease with progression to malignant lymphoma.
abstract: Patients with multicentric Castleman's disease have an increased risk of developing non-Hodgkin's lymphoma. However, development of lymphoma in the localized form of Castleman's disease has not been previously reported. This case study describes a patient with localized Castleman's disease, hyaline vascular type, whose course was complicated by follicular non-Hodgkin's lymphoma.
