title: Case report: the ultrasound and computed tomography appearance of mesenteric Castleman disease.
abstract: Castleman disease is a rare, benign disorder characterized by proliferation of lymphoid tissue most commonly presenting as a solitary mediastinal mass. We discuss the radiological findings in a 10-year-old female child with a mesenteric Castleman tumour presenting with intermittent abdominal pain and a persistently elevated erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR).
