Clinical and radiological features of parapancreatic hyaline-vascular Castleman disease: a case report and literature review

Parapancreatic Castleman disease is a rare angiofollicular lymph node hyperplasia that are likely to imitate other parapancreatic lesions on radiological images, often occurs in Asian countries. First, we retrospectively analyzed the radiological appearance and clinical data of a patient in our hospital, and then we conducted a systematic review of all previous parapancreatic reports. Although rare, parapancreatic hyaline-vascular Castleman disease should be considered when a parapancreatic lesion observed in a patient which is asymptomatic, appears as a well-defined solid or cystic solid mass with slight to intense enhancement patterns in radiological images.
