Abstract
Castleman’s disease (CD) is a rare benign lympho-proliferative disorder characterized by non-neoplastic lymphnode hypertrophy. Its etiology is unknown. It has been found in association with Kaposi’s sarcoma, necessitating investigation for HIV. CD can be unicentric (localized), multicentric or mixed.
