Abstract EN
Castleman disease is a lymphoproliferative disorder with unknown cause and a characteristic hypervascular lymphoid hyperplasia.
Commonly the disease is located in the mediastinum.
Head and neck is the second most common localization for the disease.
However involvement of parotid gland is extremely rare.
We present a 29 year old female patient with parotid gland Castleman’s disease.
Although it is rarely seen in the parotid gland, it should be considered in the differential diagnosis of cases with mass in the parotid gland.
