Abstract

<p>A 48-year-old woman presented with acute abdominal pain and was admitted for further examination. Abdominal computed tomography revealed a solid tumor with calcification in the small intestinal mesentery. On magnetic resonance imaging, the tumor was visualized as a low signal intensity on T1-weighted and T2-weighted images and as a slightly high intensity on fat suppression T1-weighted and diffusion-weighted images.</p><p>We were unable to exclude the possibility of a malignant tumor. The tumor was resected and subsequently diagnosed as Castleman’s disease (hyaline vascular type). Abdominal Castleman’s disease is rare, with only 68 cases reported to date. Here, we present our case and a summary of the reported cases in Japan.</p><p>Abdominal Castleman’s disease is rare, and only 68 cases have been reported in Japan until date.
