Castelman disease of the parotid gland: An unusual entity
Journal Title: Otolaryngologia Polska - Year 2014, Vol 68, Issue 4
Abstract
Castle man disease (CD) is a benign lymphoepithelial disorder characterised by abnorma l growth of a lymph node. This disease may be seen anywhere along the lymphatic chain but it usually occurs in the mediastinum. Two clinical types (localised and generalised ) and three histo pathological types (hyaline vascular, plasma cell, and mixed) have been described. We present a case of a 35-year-old female patient with parotid CD of the hyaline-vascular type as an extremely rare entity. We also discuss recent updates on this disease.
