경부의 석회화 침착을 동반한 Castleman씨 병 1례와 국내 증례 분석

Castleman’s disease is a condition of uncertain cause usually presenting with localized mediastinal lymphad- enopathy. Occasionally other lymph node groups may be involved with or without associated systemic manifestations. Authors had experienced a case of Castleman’s disease in a 29-year-old female patient presented with a painless neck mass. In the computed tomography of the neck, a 6 cm sized, moderately enhanced mass with calcification was noted. Diagnosis was established by histopathologic examination of the resected specimen. This case with calcification in the neck is assumed the second case in the Korea literatures. (J Clinical Otolaryngol 1999;10:286–290)
