Although uncommon, the localized form of this disease can manifest in the central nervous system, typically as a meningeal-based intracranial lesion. Castleman's disease involving the spine is exceedingly rare.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Abstract A 30-year-old woman, who, since the age of 20, had epileptic seizures, was hospitalized in 1972 because of frontalheadaches, nausea, and vomiting.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

A complete clinical workup of the patient was done. Laboratory investigations revealed serum bilirubin (1.1 mg/dl); direct (0.6 mg/dl); alkaline phosphatase 208 IU/L; ALT 64IU/L.[cancerjournal.net]
A patient presenting with predominantly gastrointestinal symptoms and a history of myocardial infarction was found to have ascites, hepatosplenomegaly, para-aortic lymphadenopathy, thrombocytosis, and a paraproteinaemia.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Abstract Four women with multicentric angiofollicular lymph node hyperplasia had a distinct clinical syndrome characterized by peripheral neuropathy, pseudotumor cerebri, IgA dysproteinemia, and thrombocytosis.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Endocrinologic abnormalities included decreased testosterone with elevated luteinizing hormone and follicle-stimulating hormone, as well as hyperprolactinemia and possible hypothyroidism.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
A liverbiopsy showed sinusoidal dilatation. Fifteen months later, a computed axial tomography showed a retroperitoneal tumor that turned out to be a giant lymph node hyperplasia.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Spine surgeons should be aware of this diagnosis as it has treatment and follow-up implications that differ from the neoplasms it can mimic. Complete surgical excision is an effective treatment for solitary lesions.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Fourteen similar cases have been reported in the literature; however, to our knowledge, this is the first report of successful treatment with plasma-pheresis.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Complete remission was achieved with corticosteroid treatment and repeat kidney biopsy 22 months later showed complete resolution of the renal pathology.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
She developed diabetes mellitus at the age of 29 yrs after she had received oral steroid treatment for one year. The nephrotic syndrome supervened another year later. Her kidneys were enlarged before the onset of diabetes.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Generalized or multicentric disease indicates a poor prognosis with short survival, with the neuropathic variant possessing resistance to steroids and chemotherapy and a corresponding worse prognosis.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
This unusual reported association seems to have a better prognosis than the known chronic progressive form of neuropathy associated with Castleman's disease and the Crow-Fukase syndrome.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
A multicentric form of this disease with a poorer prognosis in comparison to the unifocal lesion has been described by Gaba et al. in 1978 [3].[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Abstract Angiofollicular lymph node hyperplasia is a disease of unknown etiology in which two distinct histologic forms are recognized: the hyalin vascular and the plasma-cell types.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
The etiology is unknown, though immunologic studies indicate a reactive phenomenon. Radiologic studies are nonspecific. Therapy is surgical excision, which is usually curative.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
