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.

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.

Objectives: Castleman's disease(CD) is a lymphoproliferative disorder of unknown etiology. To elucidate the clinicopathologic characteristics of CD, we retrospectively reviewed our experience. Methods: Fifteen patients with CD of the neck and mediastinum were identified. Patients were divided into two groups: group I had an unicentric CD and group II had multicentric CD. The histology of CD was divided into 3 subtypes: hyaline-vascular(HV), plasma cell(PC), and mixed. Results: The study included 12 cases of group I, 3 cases of group II in the clinical aspect and 10 cases with HV, 3 cases with PC, 2 cases with mixed type in the histologic aspect. Of group I patients who underwent complete surgical excision, all are currently free of disease. The clinical course of group II patients was variable. Of two patients with multicentric plasma cell CD who were treated, one remain free from disease and the other had a local recurrence in the neck. One patient with multicentric mixed CD died of disease after 30 months of presentation. Conclusion: Surgical resection is recommend for patients with the unicentric CD, regardless of histologic subtype. Patients with multicentric disease do not benefit from surgical resection and should be candidates for multimodality therapy.

Castleman's disease is a relatively rate disorder of lymphoid tissue and poorly understood etiology. The disease may occur anywhere along the lymphatic chain, but is most commonly found as a solitary mass in the mediastinum. The hyaline vascular type represents 91% of Castlemen's disease, and these are most often discovered in the asymptomatic patient on routine chest film. Patients with the plasma cell type often exhibit systemic symptoms, including fever, night sweats, anemia, and hypergammaglobulinemia. Surgical excision effects cure, although resection of the hyaline vascular type may be associated with significant hemprrage owing to extreme vascularity. We recently experienced a case of hyaline vascular type Castleman's disease which was treated by surgical resection through the anterior mini-thoracotomy, and report with its review.

Multicentric Castleman's disease (CD) is a rare atypical lymphoproliferative disorder, which is characterized by various systemic manifestations. Some patients with multicentric CD may have concomitant lung parenchymal lesions, for which lymphoid interstitial pneumonia (LIP) is known to be the most common pathologic finding. Follicular bronchiolitis and LIP are considered to be on the same spectrum of the disease. We describe a case of multicentric CD with pulmonary involvement, which was pathologically proven as follicular bronchiolitis.

A case of chordoid meningioma occurring in a 61-year-old woman who did not have a Castleman's disease is presented. The patient had suffered from headache and motor dysphasia. Laboratory findings are normal. The tumor, located in the left frontal region and associated with peritumoral edema, was totally resected. Surgical specimen revealed a solid mass with irregular surface that measured $3.5{\times}4.5{\times}4cm$. Immunohistochemical staining revealed that the tumor cells expressed epithelial membrane antigen[EMA] focally, but not S-100 protein and glial fibrillary acid protein [GFAP], and the Ki-67 proliferative index of the tumor was 9%. The neoplasm was diagnosed chordoid meningioma of the World Health Organization[WHO] grade II. After total resection, her preoperative headache and dysphasia were disappeared.

Castleman's disease is an uncommon lymphoproliferative disorder. The disorder can be classified based on histological subtype, such as hyaline vascular type, plasma cell type, and mixed type, and can also be clinically divided into either unicentric or multicentric type. Its exact pathophysiology is not clearly identified. The unicentric type is able to be treated by surgical resection. However, there is no standard treatment modlity for the multicentric type. Treatment of multicentric type includes anti-cancer chemotherapy and radiation therapy. Recently, authors have experienced a rare case of unicentric type of Castleman's disease accompanying a mucoepidermoid carcinoma of parotid gland and report a case which is discussed with references.
