Description
Castleman's disease is a rare benign lymphoproliferative disorder of unknown etiology with about 70% of cases occurring in the thorax. However, the disorder can also occur in an extrathoracic site where lymphoid tissue is present. We report here a rare case of omental Castleman's disease in a 69-year-old female patient, imaged by three cross-sectional modalities: US, CT, and MRI with gadolinium.
