title: [Castleman's Disease of the Chest Wall Successfully Resected by Thoracoscopic Surgery；Report of a Case].
abstract: A 61-year-old woman without a significant past medical history was pointed out the abnormal shadow on the annual medical checkup. Chest computed tomography (CT) revealed a well-defined paravertebral chest wall tumor of 20 mm in maxmum size. Furthermore, diffusion weighted image on magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) showed high intensity, and standardized uptake value (SUV) max on positron emission tomography/computed tomography (PET/CT) was 13.4. Schwanoma, solitary fibrous tumor (SFT) or malignant lymphoma was suggested. Complete resection was performed with thoracoscopic surgery. The histological diagnosis was Castleman's disease with hyalineized type.
