We report a case of
Castleman's disease
in a 48-year-old male who complained of a rapidly enlarging mass on the neck. Thrombocytopenia and the facio-scapulo-humeral type of progressive
muscular dystrophy
were also present. The mass was extirpated, and histopathological examinations showed the hyaline-vascular type of
Castleman's disease
. Following resection, thrombocytopenia was ameliorated. Immunological study with flow cytometric analysis was made to clarify the nature of his mass. With reference to recent literature we suggest that the hyaline-vascular type of
Castleman's disease
may be an atypical hyperplasia of the lymphoid tissue.
