A 9-year-old girl presented with anemia, fever, and poor growth over a 2 1/2-year period. On physical examination, a right lower quadrant mass was palpated. Her signs and symptoms were consistent with Castleman's disease of the plasma cell type. The mass, a giant hyperplastic lymph node, was excised, and the patient's symptoms resolved. Castleman's disease is a benign lymph node disorder that occurs very rarely in the pediatric population and is cured by operative excision of the lymphatic mass.
