CASTLEMANS DISEASE - ANGIOFOLLICULAR BENIGN LYMPH-NODE HYPERPLASIA - RADIOLOGICAL FEATURES IN THE DIFFERENTIAL-DIAGNOSIS OF VASCULAR TUMORS OF THE PELVIS

An unusual case of benign lymph-node hyperplasia (Castleman) in the pelvis is reported and its clinical, histological and radiographic characteristics discussed. The angiographic appearances in this situation have to our knowledge not been described before in the literature. The angiograhic features are not diagnostic, being mimicked by a wide variety of vascular tumours in the pelvis. The benign nature of the condition is stressed. BLH should be considered in the differential diagnosis of vascular tumours in the pelvis.
