Clinical and Pathological Characteristics of Hyaline-Vascular Type Unicentric Castleman Disease: A 20-Year Retrospective Analysis

The first case of hyaline vascular type of unicentric Castleman disease (HV-UCD) was reported more than six decades ago. Since patients with HV-UCD are often asymptomatic and this condition is generally discovered incidentally on imaging tests, most of the previous reports were of mediastinal origin...
