Liver cirrhosis in a child associated with Castleman's disease: A case report.

Background: Castleman's disease (CD) is a lymphoproliferative disorder. TAFRO syndrome is classified as a variant of CD based on its key clinical manifestations of thrombocytopenia, anasarca (generalized edema and pleural effusion), fever (pyrexia), reticulin fibrosis in the bone marrow and the proliferation of megakaryocytes, and organomegaly (such as hepatosplenomegaly and multiple lymphadenopathies); TAFRO syndrome is mainly reported in Japanese patients. To our knowledge, this is the first pediatric case report detailing a CD-associated disorder progressing to cirrhosis.
