Castleman`s Disease (CD) is a rare lymphoproliferative disorder and a mesenteric location is unusual. The unicentric variety is more difficult to diagnose clinically and it requires a histopathological confirmation. The excision biopsy itself will help both in the diagnosis and in planning the treatment. Here, we are presenting a case of unicentric mesenteric Castleman`s disease which we suspected to be lymphoma.

Castleman disease is a rare type of lymph node hyperplasia primarily affecting the mediastinum, with mesenteric localization being extremely uncommon. It is classified into solitary and multicentric forms. In this case report, we present the case of a 46-year-old female patient in whom an incidental mesenteric mass was discovered during the workup for a ventral hernia.

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.

We report a case of cardiac amyloid A (AA) amyloidosis due to unicentric Castleman disease (UCD) in a patient whose cardiac function was restored 15 years after surgical resection of the mesenteric lymph node lesion. A man in his 40s had recurrent palpitations and fainting spells. ECG revealed Increased C-reactive protein, interleukin-6 and serum AA levels, and marked concentric thickening of the left ventricular (LV) wall with diastolic restrictive filling pattern were observed.

The first case of hyaline vascular type of unicentric Castleman disease (HV-UCD) was reported more than six decades ago. Since patients with HV-UCD are often asymptomatic and this condition is generally discovered incidentally on imaging tests, most of the previous reports were of mediastinal origin detected by chest radiography. In recent years, improved access to imaging modalities has provided new insights in the diagnosis of this condition.
