title: Castleman's disease: an unusual cause of a neck mass.
abstract: Castleman's disease is an unusual cause of a neck mass; in only 6% of the cases reported in the literature is the disease primarily located in the neck. We present 2 cases of Castleman's disease restricted to the neck, who underwent successful surgical excision. We discuss the histopathology in the different forms of the disease and review the literature.
