Castleman Disease: An Unusual Cause of an Isolated Neck Mass.

A 15-year old female patient was complaining from swelling in the left side of the neck since 3 months. Physical examination showed palpable and mobile left supraclavicular neck mass in the carotid triangle, uvula deviation to the left side and normal vocal cords position and function. Neck imagings showed well-defined, well-encapsulated left neck mass in the left carotid sheath pushing the internal jugular vein anteriorly and the common carotid artery posteriorly. The mass was extending from the level of C4 superiorly and the supraclavicular region inferiorly. Patient was operated with left anterior approach and circumferential dissection and enucleation was performed. Post-operative period was uneventful and devoid of any complications or deficits. Histopathological examination revealed Castleman disease. Copyright © 2020 by Mutaz B. Habal, MD.
