Abstract

Unicentric Castleman’s Disease (UCD) is a rare disorder with unknown etiology. UCD is characterized by a localized lymp- hoid tissue proliferation and interfollicular hypervascularity. It is a rarely seen mass in the pararenal space, which can mimic other tumors. In this case, we present a retroperi- toneal UCD which is treated with laparosco- pic approach in our clinic.

Keywords: unicentric castleman’s dise- ase, hyaline vascular variant, benign neop- lasm
