A case of Castleman's lymphoma arising in the left parotid region

Abstract

We reported a very rare case of Castleman's lymphoma arising in the left parotidgland region. A 31-year-old male patient complained of swelling of the left parotidregion. The swelling was a sharply defined, elastic soft and elliptic mass measuring 28×25 mm. However, there was no tenderness or facial palsy. Sialography, CT-scan and ultrasonographywere performed. As this lesion was clinically suspected to be a benign tumor of the parotidgland, tumor enucleation was performed. Histopathological diagnosis was a hyalinevasculartype, Castleman's lymphoma. There was no evidence of recurrence in the patient 4 yearsafter operation.
