Abstract
A case of intrapericardial giant lymph node hyperplasia (localized hya line-vascular variant of Castleman's disease) is reported. The large t umor was successfully removed, and at a twelve-year follow-up there ar e no signs of recurrence. This is the first case reported in the liter ature of an intrapericardial Castleman's disease localization. Embryol ogic, surgical, and prognostic implications of this finding are briefl y discussed.
