Castleman disease
MONDO:0015564Castleman disease (CD) is a benign lymphoproliferative disorder that may present as a localized or multicentric form. The clinical manifestations are heterogeneous, ranging from asymptomatic discrete lymphadenopathy to recurrent episodes of diffuse lymphadenopathy with severe systemic symptoms.
Also known as: AFLH, Castleman disease, Castleman's disease, Castleman's tumor, Castleman's tumour, GLNH, angiofollicular ganglionic hyperplasia, angiofollicular lymph hyperplasia
