Article Abstract

Castleman disease (CD) is a lymphoproliferative disorder classified into two categories as unicentric Castleman disease (UCD) or localized type and multicentric Castleman disease (MCD). A rare case of hyaline vascular variant of tonsil has been presented in which a 14 years old male presented with symptomatic unilateral hypertrophy of right tonsil. A right tonsillectomy was done and surgical pathology report was concluded as hyaline vascular variant of Castleman's disease.Castleman disease (CD) is a rare lymphoproliferative disorder also called as giant lymph node hyperplasia, angiofollicular lymph node hyperplasia (AFH), angiomatous lymphoid hematoma and follicular lymphoreticuloma. The treatment of symptomatic patients with UCD is complete surgical excision (as in present case). In cases with incomplete resection, adjuvant radiotherapy can be given.

Castleman disease (CD) is a rare lymphoproliferative disorder with unique clinicopathological features, including two distinct clinical subtypes categorized as unicentric (UCD) and multicentric (MCD). UCD usually involves a single lymph node site presenting with no or minimal local symptoms. Histologically, most UCD cases exhibit regressive hyaline vascular germinal centers, characterized by penetrating vessels, dendritic hyperplasia/dysplasia, and increased interfollicular vascularity.

HIV-associated multicentric Castleman disease (HIV-MCD) is a rare, life-threatening lymphoproliferative disorder featuring systemic inflammation and marked lymphadenopathy. HIV-MCD is characterized by a human herpesvirus-8 (HHV-8) infection, with an increasing incidence despite advances in antiretroviral therapy (ART). Although HHV-8 viremia is a recognized indicator of disease recurrence, the necessity of intervention for low-level viremia reactivation remains unclear.
