Castleman disease is a rare lymphoproliferative disorder of unknown etiology that most commonly presents as a mediastinal nodal mass or, in the extranodal form of the disease, a mass located in the mediastinum or retroperitoneum. It is exceptionally uncommon for Castleman disease to present in the extremities. We report a rare case of extranodal Castleman disease presenting as a muscular forearm mass. We compare our case with the seven other reported cases in which Castleman disease presented as an isolated soft tissue mass in the extremities.
卡斯特尔曼病是一种病因不明的罕见淋巴增生性疾病，最常见的表现为纵隔淋巴结肿块，或者在疾病的结外形式中，表现为位于纵隔或腹膜后的肿块。卡斯特尔曼病出现在四肢极为罕见。我们报告了一例罕见的结外卡斯特尔曼病，表现为前臂肌肉肿块。我们将我们的病例与其他七例报告病例进行了比较，这些病例中卡斯特尔曼病表现为四肢孤立的软组织肿块。
