title: [Castleman's lymphoma. Differential diagnosis of mediastinal tumors].
abstract: This report describes two cases of Castleman's disease (male 48 yrs, female 33 yrs). Two intrathoracic lymphomas were accidentally discovered during routine x-ray examination. Histologically, follicular hyperplasia, prominent interfollicular vascularity and sheets of mature plasma cells (intermediate variant) were seen. The etiology of this benign lymphoma remains unknown. Its significance lies in its differential diagnosis from malignant tumours.
