Abstract

Castleman's disease is a rare benign lymphoproliferative disorder of unknown etiology with about 70% of cases occurring in the thorax. However, the disorder can also occur in an extrathoracic site where lymphoid tissue is present. We report here a rare case of omental Castleman's disease in a 69-year-old female patient, imaged by three cross-sectional modalities: US, CT, and MRI with gadolinium.

Castleman 병은 림프조직증식을 보이는 원인이 잘 알려지지 않은 양성질환으로서 대부분이 흉부에서 발생하지만 림프조직이 있는 흉부 외 조직에서도 발생할 수 있다. 저자는 아주 드물게 보고된 대망을 침범한 Castleman 병을 경험하였기에 US, CT, MRI 소견을 보고하고자 한다.
