18F-FDG PET/CT of a Multicentric Castleman Disease with Lymph Node and Skin Involvement

Herein, we describe a rare case of multicentric Castleman disease with multiple lymph node and skin involvement. Ultrasonography of a 38-year-old patient with weakness and fever revealed multiple lymphadenopathies in both inguinal regions. Diagnosed via lymph node biopsy was Castleman's disease, a plasma cell variant. He was diagnosed with prurigo nodularis, lymphocytic vasculitis, and stasis dermatitis in the biopsies of skin lesions located in different regions. <sup>18</sup>F-fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography/computed tomography showed multiple hypermetabolic lymph nodes in the axilla, abdomen, pelvis, and both popliteal areas, multiple hypermetabolic skin thickenings, and skin lesions in both arms, legs, and feet.

Abstract

Herein, we describe a rare case of multicentric Castleman disease with multiple lymph node and skin involvement. Ultrasonography of a 38-year-old patient with weakness and fever revealed multiple lymphadenopathies in both inguinal regions. Diagnosed via lymph node biopsy was Castleman's disease, a plasma cell variant. He was diagnosed with prurigo nodularis, lymphocytic vasculitis, and stasis dermatitis in the biopsies of skin lesions located in different regions. <sup>18</sup>F-fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography/computed tomography showed multiple hypermetabolic lymph nodes in the axilla, abdomen, pelvis, and both popliteal areas, multiple hypermetabolic skin thickenings, and skin lesions in both arms, legs, and feet.
