Abstract
Castleman's disease is a lymphoreticular disorder, often localized and clinically silent. Systemic manifestations may occur. Castleman's disease may be associated with pathologies such as POEMS syndrome (polyneuropathy, organomegaly, endocrinopathy, monoclonal gammopathy, and skin changes), AIDS, amyloidosis, pemphigus vulgaris, and other types of cancer such as lymphoma and Kaposi's sarcoma. Careful preoperative evaluation is required to determine whether associated mediastinal or spinal canal masses or haematological disorders are present. The significance of these pathologies for anaesthetic management is discussed. We present the case of a 27-year-old female patient with Castleman's disease (hyaline-vascular variant) requiring vaginal reconstruction due to recurrent sores and synechiae.
