title: Primary Castleman's Disease of the Liver.
abstract: Castleman's disease is a rare lymphoproliferative disorder that may affect the liver as part of mutlicentric disease or, rarely, as unicentric hepatic disease. Primary hepatic disease is difficult to diagnose but demonstrates diffusion restriction on magnetic resonance scan and can be treated curatively with hepatic resection.
