Core Tip

Core tip: Castleman disease (CD), also known as giant lymph node hyperplasia or angiofollicular lymph node hyperplasia, is a highly heterogeneous clinicopathological entity belonging to the family of lymphoproliferative disorders. CD is commonly found in the mediastinum. Castleman-like masses in the adrenal grand are extraordinarily rare. We present a case of adrenal CD in a 26-year-old female. Through laparotomy, the tumor was removed. During a 12-mo follow-up, there was no evidence of metastasis or recurrence.
