Özet

Castleman’s disease (CD) is described as a nodal lympho-follicular hyperplasia and mostly seen in thoracic cavity. The occurrence in pelvic cavity is very rare. It is usually mimicking the pelvic adnexal solid -heterogenous tumoral mass. So the preoperative diagnosis is mostly difficult. We now present a case of pe lvic CD in a woman who complaint from pelvic pain. The patient underwent laparotomy with suspicious of adnexal tumor. However, the diagnosis was made at histopathologic examination postoperatively. The surgery was curative in this case and no recu rrence was observed in the patient.
