Angiofollicular lymph node hyperplasia is a relatively rare benign lesion. It develops most often in the mediastinum, but also it found in other area of the body, usually where lymph nodes are normally found. There are histologically divided hyaline vascular type, plasma cell type and transitional type. The lesions were discovered most often on routine roentgenograms, and complete surgical excision is the treatment of choice. Recently, the authors experienced a case of angiofollicular lymph node hyperplasia, transitional type, located in the right hilar area. The lesion was removed and the patient is in good condition postoperatively. Now we report this case with review of previously reported literatures.

혈관여포양 임 파선증식 증 (angiofollicular lymph node hyperplasia)은 원인 미상의 드문 양성 질환으로서 대부분 흉곽내에 발생한다. 진단은 임상증상, 이학적 경사 그리고 X-선 촬영을 비롯한 각종 영상술에 의하며 여러 다른 질환과 감별진단이 어렵다. 대개 수술적 적출에 의한 조직학적 검색으로 확진이 된다. 조직학적으로는 두 가지로 분류되며 하나는 초자양혈관형으로서 여포내에 혈관이 증식되고 초자양화(hyalinization)가 일어나는 것이 특징이다. $90\%$가 이에 속하고 다른 하나는 형질세포형으로서 $10\%$를 차지한다. 후자는 여포간 조직내에 형질세포가 미만성으로 증식되고 신증후군, 발열, 빈혈, 적혈구침강속도 증가, 고감마글로블린혈증, 저알부민혈증 등의 변화가 있는 점이 전자와 다른 점이다. 치료는 주로 수술적 제거술에 의하며 수술로서 절제되지 못하는 것은 방사선 치료에 의하게 된다. 저자들은 경도의 흉부불쾌감과 경부 임파절 종대를 보인 61세 남자에서 전상종격동 종괴를 수술적 부분제거 후 외부 방사선 치료를 실시하여 완치된 1예를 경험하였기에 보고하는 바이다.

Castleman's disease was originally described as a localized mediastinal lymph node enlargement characterized by angiofollicular hyperplasia and intrafollicular capillary proliferation, with surgical removal of mass the only treatment required. It has been divided into two distict histologic types. The hyaline-vascular type is more common and characterized by small hyaline-vascular follicles and interfollicular proliferation. The plasma-cell type is occurred less frequent and more likely to present with constituitional symptoms. It commonly involves the mediastinal and pulmonary lymph nodes, with neck involvement in only 15% to 20% of cases. We report two cases of hyaline-vascular type of Castleman's disease located in the neck area with references to recent literature.

Castleman's disease is uncommon lymphoproliferative disorder as giant lymph node hyperplasia and angiofollicular lymph node hyperplasia. Multicentric variant of Castleman's disease, plasma cell type has been described that has more generalized lymph node involvement as well as involvement of other organ systems than localized type. Multicentric plasma cell type is frequently accompanied by systemic manifestations, such as weight loss, lowgrade fever and weakness. But the reported cases of pulmonary parenchymal involvement are rare and have almost consisted of hyalinized granuloma adjacent to a bronchus. We report a patient with Castleman's disease of the lung, pathologically proven interstitial pulmonary involvement.

Castleman's disease or angiofollicular lymph node hyperplasia is a rare lymphoproliferative disorder. Complete surgical resection was recommended in unicentric Castleman's disease. Radiotherapy was considered alternative therapeutic option. However, there have been consistent favorable responses to radiotherapy. We also experienced two cases of uncentric Castleman's disease salvaged successfully with radiotherapy. This paper described these cases and reviewed the literature about Castleman's disease treated with radiotherapy. Reviewed cases showed that radiotherapy is a successful treatment option in unicentric Castleman's disease. Furthermore, our report confirms the radiotherapy role in uncentric Castleman's disease.

본 교실에서는 우측 악하부와 우측 안와 하부의 종창으로 내원한 53세 여자 환자에서 Fine Needle Aspiration Biopsy로 림프절의 반응성 과증식으로 진단되어 다시 절제 생검을 시행하여 multi-centric Castleman's disease로 진단하였다. 조직 검사상 유리질 혈관형과 형질세포형이 공존하는 복합형으로 나타났으며 병소의 적출술만을 시행한 후 1년이 지난 지금까지는 별다른 소견없이 좋은 경과를 나타내고 있으며 앞으로도 계속 주의깊은 관찰이 필요로 한다.
