| Popis: | Castleman’s disease is a rare lymphoproliferative disease of unknown etiology. It presents itself under different clinical pathological entities, with mainly two distinct histological types, the hyaline-vascular type and the plasmocytic type, and two distinct clinical forms, the localized unicentric form, which generally has a favorable prognosis, and the diffuse multiricentric form, with prognosis often pejorative, justified by the emergence of certain malignant tumors during its evolution. The association with bronchopulmonary cancer has rarely been reported in the literature, and explanations other than coincidence remain very probable. The authors report two rare cases of multicentric Castleman’s disease associated with bronchopulmonary cancer. |
