Abstract

A 32-year-old female was admitted for evaluation of known mass on right suprahilar area. Chest PA showed 4 x 3 cm round and homogenous mass on suprahilar area. No abnormal findings were found in PFT, cytology, bacterial study, and fine needle aspiration biopsy(FNAB). On chest computed tomography, solitary mass was on right suprahilar area and no evidence of intra- pulmonary metastasis or lymphnode metastasis was seen. Right upper lobectomy of lung was performed and Castleman's disease of hyaline vascular type was diagnosed based on the histologic findings of multiple and large lymphoid follicles with prominent vascular proliferation and hyalization in the central portion.
