Abstract
A case of Castleman disease of the retroperitoneum in a 26-year-old wo man is presented. Sonography, computed tomography, and magnetic resona nce imaging demonstrated a large retroperitoneal mass with somewhat he terogeneous imaging characteristics. Although a definitive preoperativ e diagnosis was not possible, magnetic resonance imaging was useful in delineating the extent of the tumor and defining the characteristics of surrounding soft tissues.
