title: [Rare origin of a retroperitoneal mass: Castleman's disease].
abstract: Castleman's disease (angiofollicular hyperplasia of the lymphatic nodes) can exceptionally appear as a retroperitoneal mass of difficult differential diagnosis relative to other malignant retroperitoneal masses. Because of its rarity, one case report of a retroperitoneal mass with histologic study corresponding to Castleman's disease is contributed. A revision of the different histologic varieties of Castleman's disease, specific treatment and prognosis is included.
