Castleman's disease is a relatively rare disorder of lymphoid tissue. The disease is considered benign in its localized form, but severe in the multicentric type. Gastrointestinal manifestations were occasionally described. We herein report four patients with histologically proved Castleman's disease in whom various and different clinical and pathological manifestations were found in the gastrointestinal tract, correlated with the primary disease. We believe that the digestive tract may be secondarily involved in Castleman's disease and, in some cases, gives the first manifestation of the disease.
卡斯尔曼病是一种相对罕见的淋巴组织疾病。该疾病的局限性形式被认为是良性的，但多中心型则较为严重。胃肠道表现偶尔有描述。我们在此报告4例经组织学证实为卡斯尔曼病的患者，他们在胃肠道出现了各种不同的临床和病理表现，与原发性疾病相关。我们认为消化道可能继发于卡斯尔曼病，在某些情况下，会是该疾病的首发表现。
