| Core Tip |
We report a very rare case of hyaline-type Castleman disease in the liver. Castleman disease can occur wherever lymphoid tissue is found, although it rarely appears in the abdominal cavity, and is especially rare in the liver. The patient was suspected of having a malignant liver tumor because of positron emission tomography findings. No findings from diagnostic imaging specific to Castleman disease are known and it is, therefore, difficult to make a predictive diagnosis. |
