Castleman's disease (CD) is a very rare disorder characterized by non-neoplastic growths in lymph nodes in any body regions, although over 60% of cases are located in the mediastinum. The head and neck is the second most commonly involved site, with up to 14% of cases. Of these, nearly 85% are located in the neck. These lesions rarely occur in the salivary glands. Clinically, CD can be divided into unicentric and multicentric forms. We report an unusual case with unicentric CD presenting as a parotid tumor in a 34-year-old woman. The lesion was found coincidentally during routine cranial magnetic resonance imaging in the absence of symptoms such as swelling or a mass in the parotid region.
卡斯尔曼病（CD）是一种非常罕见的疾病，其特征是身体任何部位的淋巴结出现非肿瘤性生长，尽管超过 60%的病例位于纵隔。头颈部是第二常见的受累部位，占 14%左右。其中，近 85%位于颈部。这些病变很少发生在唾液腺中。临床上，CD 可分为单中心和多中心形式。我们报告了一例罕见的单中心 CD 病例，表现为 34 岁女性的腮腺肿瘤。该病变是在常规头颅磁共振成像时偶然发现的，患者无腮腺区域肿胀或肿块等症状。
