Coexistence of HHV-8-associated plasmacytic multicentric Castleman disease, Kaposi’s sarcoma, and multiple myeloma in a HIV-negative patient
Multicentric Castleman disease (MCD), often linked with human herpesvirus-8 (HHV-8) and Kaposi's sarcoma, is rare and aggressive condition, particularly in human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)-positive patients.The coexistence of MCD, Kaposi's sarcoma, and multiple myeloma is exceptionally rare in HIV-negative, immunocompetent patient.This case highlights the challenges in diagnosing and managing complex presentations of MCD and related malignancies, with poor outcomes despite treatment.
