A 65-year-old female patient was diagnosed with breast cancer in 1995. An abdominal mass was detected by computed tomography and the patient was preoperatively diagnosed with a gastrointestinal stromal tumor. Laparoscopy-assisted surgical resection revealed a mesenteric Castleman's tumor of the hyaline vascular type. Mesenteric Castleman's disease is rare, and there have been only 42 cases reported in the English literature. We herein discuss the clinical findings of these cases.

Immunoglobulin G4-related disease (IgG4-RD) is an immune-mediated disease with many important manifestations in hematopoietic and lymphoid tissue. IgG4 is the least naturally abundant IgG subclass, and the hallmark feature of IgG4-RD is markedly increased IgG4-positive plasma cells (with an IgG4 to IgG ratio >40%) in affected tissue, along with elevated polyclonal serum IgG and IgG4 in most patients. Histological diagnosis is essential, and other key features include storiform fibrosis, lymphoplasmacytic infiltrate, tissue eosinophilia, and obliterative phlebitis.

Castleman disease (CD) is a benign lymphoproliferative disorder of unknown etiology, which can involve any part of the body. CD can involve a single lymph node (unicentric) or multiple lymph nodes (multicentric) of which unicentric CD is the most common type. The unicentric CD is usually localized, asymptomatic, and often appears as an incidental mass on radiographs, whereas multicentric CD is characterized by systemic involvement.
