Castleman tumor usually presents as a mediastinal tumor which is never accurately diagnosed before surgery. Pathological findings and postoperative course establish the benign nature of this tumor. However, plasmocytic forms with prominent hematologic manifestations may be difficult to distinguish from a malignant lymphoma or thymoma. Differential diagnosis is all the more important that no complementary postoperative treatment is indicated in benign lymphoid tumors.
Castleman 病通常表现为纵隔肿瘤，术前从未得到准确诊断。病理检查结果及术后病程确定了该肿瘤的良性性质。然而，具有显著血液学表现的浆细胞型可能难以与恶性淋巴瘤或胸腺瘤相鉴别。鉴别诊断尤为重要，因为良性淋巴肿瘤术后无需辅助治疗。
