Abstract
We describe a case of Castleman's disease in a 8-year-old-boy who pres ented with a slowly growing mass in the upper neck. MRI showed a well- defined homogeneous mass with nonspecific signal features. Unusual fea tures were a kidney-bean shape and the deep location in the suprahyoid region, the mass originating in the left retropharyngeal space.
