Castleman's disease (CD) is a rare entity, characterized by lymph node follicles hyperplasia. It rarely occurs in children. We present a case of a 9 year old girl with CD in the parotid region. This disease, although it's low incidence in pediatric population, may mimic a malignant neoplasm and should be a differential diagnosis in cervical masses.
卡斯特曼病(Castleman病,CD)是一种罕见疾病,其特征为淋巴结滤泡增生。它在儿童中很少见。我们报告一例9岁腮腺区卡斯特曼病女童病例。这种疾病虽然在儿童群体中发病率较低,但可能类似恶性肿瘤,在颈部肿块的鉴别诊断中应予以考虑。
