Abstract
Castleman's disease (CD) usually occurs in the mediastinum and the hilar region and relatively rarely occurs in the head and neck region. We report a case of CD arising in the right submandibular region in a 26-year-old woman. The patient had symptoms of swelling in the right submandibular region that had been present for half a year. On examination, a nontender movable mass of 25 × 20 mm was palpated in the right submandibular region. Computed tomography revealed a well-demarcated mass measuring 30 × 20 mm in the right submandibular region, and all laboratory data were within normal range. The mass was removed with the patient under general anesthesia. Histopathologically, the mass was diagnosed as a hyaline-vascular type of CD. There was no recurrence at follow-up 7 years after surgery.
