title: An unusual case of Castleman's disease restricted to the neck.
abstract: An unusual case of Castleman's disease (CD) restricted to the left cervical area is reported. CD is rarely confined to the cervical area; when it occurs, it is usually of the hyaline-vascular subtype and small in size. This case was atypical due to its histology (plasma-cell variant), big size (15 x 11 x 6 cm) and the absence of general symptoms. In spite of surgical excision, the disease recurred 11 months later. However, subsequent surgery followed by chemotherapy resulted in a long-lasting control of the disease.
