MESENTERIC CASTLEMAN'S DISEASE ACCIDENTAL DISCOVERY OF A CASE OF MESENTERIC CASTLEMAN'S DISEASE IN THE FORM OF AN ABDOMINAL MASS

Castelman disease is known as benign angiofollicular node hyperplasia disorder; mostly described in mediastinum. The mesenteric localisation is exceedingly rare, that can be ignored in diagnosis front of an abdominal mass. We report the case of a 42 years old man with an abdominal mass. The diagnosis of gastro-intetinal tumor was the most likely, based on clinical and radiologic data. A surgical resection of the tumor was performed and the post-operativ follow up was good. The final histological and immuno-histological diagnosis was a castleman's disease in its localized form. In this paper we report one case of a mesenteric castlemandisease, we also clear up the clinico-pathological and radiological features of this disease by full literature review, so as to progress the clinic support.
