A case of Castleman's lymphoma at the hepatic hilum is reported.A 60-year-old woman was admitted to our hospital with the complaint of epigastralgia.Abdominal ultrasonography revealed a well-defined mass below the liver.Abdominal computed tomography revealed a mass withcalcification, magnetic resonance imaging (T2 weighted) showed a mass whose signal was higher than that of the liver, and abdominal angiography showed a hypervascular mass.Laparotomy was performed.A walnut-sized tumor was noted at the liver hilus and the tumor wasresected.The resected tumor, measuring 4.0×3.5×2.8cm, was completely enclosed within a thin capsel. Histological examination revealed characteristics of the hyaline-vascular type of Castleman's lymphoma.
