Abstract
We present a rare case of unicentric Castleman disease (CD) in the paediatric neck. A 12-year-old Caucasian girl was referred to us due to a slowly enlarging, painless right-sided neck mass. Our thorough investigative approach identified unicentric CD, with previously undocumented CD-like features occurring simultaneously in a separate lesion from the lymph node group involved in unicentric CD. Recognition of CD in the paediatric patient is essential, despite the condition’s rarity, to ensure adequate diagnostic work-up and management. We discuss features of unicentric CD, current concepts surrounding histology of the two separate variants of unicentric and multicentric CD, and the implications for management.
