Objective: To investigate the clinical characteristics of pulmonary hilum Castleman's disease.
Methods: The clinical characteristics of 4 patients diagnosed with pulmonary hilum Castleman's disease in our department were analysed and compared with findings in relevant literature.
Results: Gender and age were not associated with Castleman's disease. The disease was often identified in physical examinations with atypical clinical symptoms. Chest CT was the most common and valuable diagnostic method revealing soft tissue mass near the pulmonary hilum. Gross-total resection of the tumor and (or) lobectomy through a combined posterior trans-thoracic approach were commonly performed, with good prognosis.
Conclusion: Hilum Castleman's disease can be effectively diagnosed and treated.

A man in his 50s presented with shortness of breath and was found to have a large paracaval mass, which on further evaluation with CT, showed a large heterogeneously enhancing mass lesion adjacent to right renal hilum. His 24-hour urinary metanephrines and nor-metanephrines were normal. In view of location and features on CT, paraganglioma was considered as a possibility.

Castleman disease is a rare disease borne of a B cell lymphoproliferative disorder of uncertain cause. Standard therapy for the unicentric type of Castleman disease localized as a single mass or single lymph-node station is surgical extirpation. Nevertheless, in the thoracic cavity, unresectable cases or cases of incomplete extirpation of the tumor without lung scarring owing to tumor size/location have been noted.
