Castleman's Lymphoma in the Neck; A Case Report

Abstract

We encountered a case of Castleman's lymphoma in the right side of the neck of an 18-year-old male patient.
The present case involved a mixed-type lymphoma which comprises only a few percent of Castleman's lymphoma in the head and neck region in Japan.
Although Castleman's lymphoma occurs most frequently in the mediastinum, it can occur in the head and neck. The usual treatment is excision and the prognosis is usually good. We must take Castleman's lymphoma into consideration when we diagnose head and neck masses.
