Castleman's disease is a rare lymphoproliferative disorder of uncertain origin. Just two cases of Castleman's disease of the gastrointestinal tract have been reported. These were found in the stomach. However, as far as we know, Castleman's disease of the duodenum has not been reported. This is the first report of hyaline vascular subtype of Castleman's disease at the duodenum.

An Elusive Diagnosis of Castleman Disease.

Ann Thorac Surg Short Rep

September 2024

Department of Thoracic & Cardiovascular Surgery, Louis Stokes Cleveland Veterans Affairs Medical Center, Cleveland, Ohio.

After inconclusive results on several laboratory tests and a nondiagnostic surgical biopsy specimen, a specimen from a second surgical biopsy identified the patient's condition as Castleman disease associated with TAFRO (thrombocytopenia, anasarca, fevers, reticulin myelofibrosis, organomegaly) syndrome. This case highlights the importance of obtaining large tissue biopsy samples, interval follow-up, and acknowledging cognitive biases.
