Purpose: To explore the clinical features and immunological mechanisms of Castleman disease (CD) complicated with autoimmune diseases (AID).
Methods: We explored the prevalence and clinical manifestations of CD complicated with AID by reviewing clinical, pathological, and laboratory data of 40 CD patients retrospectively, and then explored abnormal immune mechanisms in the co-existence of the two entities by monitoring lymphocyte subsets in peripheral blood.
Results: Paraneoplastic pemphigus, autoimmune hemolytic anemia, Sjogren's syndrome, myasthenia gravis, and psoriasis were found to be coexisted with CD in 9/40 (22.
