[Castleman disease arising from cardiophrenic angle; report of a case].
We report the first case of Castleman disease arising from cardiophrenic angle. The patient was referred to our hospital to treat his mediastinal tumor. Computed tomography (CT) showed a well-enhanced mass arising from the right cardiophrenic angle. We speculated the tumor to be a Castleman disease or hemangioma. Right thoracotomy was performed, and the tumor was removed after the ligation of the feeding artery and drainage vein. The histological findings of the tumor led to a diagnosis of Castleman disease hyaline vascular type.
