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.
