Description
An abnormal shadow was detected on the chest radiograph of a 53-year-old male during a medical check-up. Chest computed tomography showed a mass at his left lower mediastinum in which 18F-fluorodeoxyglucose accumulated, with a maximum standardized uptake value of 3.37. Thoracoscopic mediastinum tumor resection was performed, and frozen sectioning showed lymphoid infiltrations without malignancy. The final pathological diagnosis was Castleman's disease, hyaline vascular type. The postoperative course was uneventful, and the patient still remains disease-free. We report Castleman's disease of the posterior mediastinum showing accumulation on positron-emission tomography and computed tomography.
