Abstract

Castleman disease is a rare atypical lymphoproliferative disorder, soon after the original presentation of Castleman, it has been definitely subdivided in a hyaline vascular and plasma cell histopathological pattern, with intermediate variants. Onset is usually in adolescense or early adulthood, occasionally in childhood. In children, Castleman disease usually presents in the abdomen, chest (mediastinum or lung hilum), or neck. Clinically, it is categorized as localized and multicentric types.
In this paper a case of localized hyaline vascular type Castleman disease with subcarinal placement is presented in a 12-year old boy admitted with productive cough and recurring pulmonary infections and diagnosed as bronchiectasis. This case is presented to demonstrate that Castleman disease might be considered in the differential diagnosis of disorders leading to bronchiectasis.
