Simultaneous lymph node involvement by Castleman disease and Kaposi sarcoma
نویسندگان
چکیده
Both multicentric Castleman disease and Kaposi sarcoma are more frequently observed in HIV infected patients. The coexistence of these Human herpesvirus 8 related lesions, in the same tissue, has been observed, but literature reports are scant. On the other hand, the expression of HHV-8-LANA-1 is easily demonstrable by immunohistochemistry. This has been shown to be a powerful tool for the diagnosis of these entities. The aim of this report is to communicate our experience with a case of multicentric Castleman disease occurring in the setting of HIV infection, which demonstrated microscopic Kaposi sarcoma in the same lymph node during the pathological work-up.

Kaposi sarcoma herpes virus (KSHV), also known as human herpesvirus-8, plays an important role in the pathogenesis of Kaposi sarcoma (KS), multicentric Castleman disease (MCD) of the plasma cell type, and primary effusion lymphoma. KSHV is rarely associated with the hemophagocytic syndrome (HPS), but when it does occur, it most occurs in immunocompromised patients. We report herein an unusual c...

BACKGROUND Castleman disease is a rare lymphoproliferative disorder presenting with localized or disseminated lymphadenopathy and systemic manifestations. It can be categorized in numerous ways, such as unicentric versus multicentric, histopathological variants (hyaline-vascular, plasma cell, and mixed), or subtypes based on causative viral infections (human immunodeficiency virus, human herpes...

Plasmablastic-type multicentric Castleman disease (PMCD) is a rare, aggressive lymphoproliferative disorder first described by Frizzera and colleagues in 1983.1 Today, the disease is most commonly diagnosed in individuals infected with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) type 1. It has been shown that PMCD is associated with Kaposi sarcoma, and a majority of patients with both conditions are inf...

Kaposi sarcoma herpesvirus (KSHV), also known as human herpesvirus-8, is associated with 1 form of multicentric Castleman disease (MCD) and is the etiologic agent for most MCD in human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)-infected patients. Diagnosis is usually determined by lymph node biopsy. Bone marrow findings in KSHV-MCD are not well characterized. We conducted histomorphologic and immunohistochem...

Many cases have been established with coexisting Kaposi’s sarcoma (KS) and classical Hodgkin’s Lymphoma (C-HL) in the same lymph node. But composite presentation of KS and Nodular Lymphocyte Predominant subtype of Hodgkin’s lymphoma (NLPHL) in the same lymph node has not been described yet. KS is related to immunodeficiency most frequently due to human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection or ...
