Abstract
Plasmocytic variants of Castleman's disease are uncommon. We report a new case of abdominal location with a rapidly fatal outcome. Another p articularity of that case was the negativity of Kaposi's sarcoma assoc iated herpesvirus, a virus recently implicated in human immunodeficien cy virus associated Castleman's disease.
