title: Retroperitoneal Castleman's disease: a case report and brief review of tumors of the pararenal area.
abstract: We report a case of retroperitoneal Castleman's disease of the hyaline vascular type. The tumor was excised with the left kidney because of tenacious adhesion to the renal pedicle. We suggest that knowledge of Castleman's disease in the retroperitoneal area would help to avoid an unnecessarily extensive operation.
