Özet
Castleman's disease is a benign and rare disease developing in lymph nodes. It is characterized by B-cell hyperproliferation and B-cells produce interleukin-6. This disease has two types; multicentric type often presents with fever, hepatomegaly, splenomegaly or lymphadenopathy, whereas unicentric type is diagnosed occasionally. Multicentric type is treated with combination chemotherapy regimens and unicentric type is treated with surgery and/or radiotherapy. In this article, a 29-year-old male patient with unicentric type, hyalen vascular Castleman's disease with local recurrence after surgery and treated with radiotherapy is presented with management and related literature review. © Gulhane Akeri Tip Akademesi 2014.
