[Castleman's lymphoma (author's transl)].
Intrathoracic angiofollicular lymph node hyperplasia (Castleman's lymphoma) was found in a 32-year-old woman. The diagnosis could be established already preoperatively by endoscopic biopsy. It was a coincidental discovery as there were no clinical symptoms. Histologically the tumour was of the hyaline-vascular type. After uncomplicated surgical removal follow-up at 6 weeks was unremarkable. Aetiology and pathology of this rare disease are unknown.
