Abstract

Castleman disease is a rare lymphoproliferative disorder with distinct clinical, histological and etiological presentations that may present as localized lymphadenopathy or systemic disease. The presentation of multicentric Castleman Disease is associated with human herpes virus-8, especially in patients infected with the human immunodeficiency virus and occasionally found with Kaposi’s Sarcoma. We present a case rarely described in the literature of a 41-year-old man with a recent diagnosis of human immunodeficiency virus infection and high viral load who developed peripheral lymph node enlargement associated with multicentric Castleman Disease and Kaposi’s Sarcoma after starting antiretroviral therapy.
