title: Castleman's disease of the chest. Magnetic resonance imaging features.
abstract: The value of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in the evaluation of vascular abnormalities in the chest is well established. To our knowledge, however, MRI in Castleman's disease of the chest had not been reported previously. We present a case of Castleman's disease of hyaline vascular type involving the pulmonary hilum where MRI was equal to computed tomography in showing the extent of the disease, but was more informative in demonstrating its relationship with vascular structures.
