Intracranial Castleman's disease of solitary form - Case report

This 62-year-old woman presented with clumsiness in her right hand. Magneti c resonance imaging demonstrated a small lesion mimicking a meningioma, whi ch had arisen from the tentorium and contained notable edema. Full recovery was achieved by total removal of the lesion, which was diagno sed as a lymphoid mass resembling giant lymph node hyperplasia on histologi cal examination. The lack of notable findings on whole-body and laboratory studies was compatible with a rare case of intracranial Castleman's disease of solitary form. The authors document clinical, neuroradiological, and pa thological features of this rare disease.
