MeSH Heading: Castleman Disease
Tree Number(s): C15.604.515.245; C20.683.515.250
Unique ID: D005871
RDF Unique Identifier: http://id.nlm.nih.gov/mesh/D005871
Scope Note: Large benign, hyperplastic lymph nodes. The more common hyaline vascular subtype is characterized by small hyaline vascular follicles and interfollicular capillary proliferations. Plasma cells are often present and represent another subtype with the plasma cells containing IgM and IMMUNOGLOBULIN A.
