We report a case of localized Castleman's disease of mesentery, studied with sonography, that was incidentally detected as an abdominal mass in a patient with Graves' disease. Its lymphatic nature and mesenteric origin was indicated preoperatively on the basis of gray-scale and color Doppler sonogra

โฆ Synopsis
Castleman's disease is a relatively rare lymphoproliferative disease. We report an asymptomatic case of Castleman's disease isolated to the mesentery and detected incidentally by sonography. In this case, color Doppler sonography demonstrated an artery penetrating the mass's hilum, suggesting a lymphatic origin of the lesion, as well as fine accessory peripheral arteries, suggesting malignancy. To our knowledge, there has been no previous report of detailed color Doppler findings in Castleman's disease.
