Castleman's disease(CD) is an uncommon lymph node syndrome, generally located in mediastinum side, rarely systemic. Two histhologic types are described:the more common, termed the hyaline-vascular type, generally asymptomatic, and the second termed plasma cell type, with systemic manifestations of the disease, like fever, anemia and weight loss. The authors present a case of a young man with Castleman's disease, treated by prednisone without reduction of the adenopathy, and thus successfully operated, and discuss about aetiopathogenic theories and treatment of this disease.

Abstract
Castleman's disease(CD) is an uncommon lymph node syndrome, generally located in mediastinum side, rarely systemic. Two histhologic types are described:the more common, termed the hyaline-vascular type, generally asymptomatic, and the second termed plasma cell type, with systemic manifestations of the disease, like fever, anemia and weight loss. The authors present a case of a young man with Castleman's disease, treated by prednisone without reduction of the adenopathy, and thus successfully operated, and discuss about aetiopathogenic theories and treatment of this disease.
