title: Two case reports of Castleman disease with pulmonary involvement.
abstract: Castleman disease (CD) is a rare reactive lymphoproliferative disorder, first identified in 1954. We recently had the opportunity to analyse the characteristics of two variations of CD with pulmonary involvement. Case 1 had localised retroperitoneal hyaline vascular type CD, while Case 2 was diagnosed as multicentric plasma cell type CD. Both patients had pulmonary symptoms and signs, including cough, dyspnoea, hypoxaemia and ventilatory dysfunction; however, they had different physiological manifestations of their pulmonary abnormalities.
