摘要：Introduction. Castleman disease is a rare disease of the unknown etiology, occuring in two clinical forms: unicentric or multicentric. It is characterized by the hyperplasia of lymph glands. In literature the four pathohistological forms were described: hyaline vascular type, plasma cell type, mixed type and a recently recognized plasmablastic type. The most frequent changes are localized in the mediastinum, while the abdominal localization is with significatly rare occurrence, and that was the motive for presentation of this case. Case report. In a 41-year old male magnetic resonance (MR) enterography showed a change in the ileocecal area without the presence of subjective symptoms of digestive tract and without loss of body mass. Due to the suspicion of stromal tumor, surgical intervention was indicated. Pathohistological findings showed Castleman lymphadenopathia reactiva mesenterii (plasma cell type) which was in the unicentric form. There were present only anaemia and the increased value of sedimentation from the laboratory analyses. Conclusion. Abdominal localization of unicentric plasma cell form occurs rarely and the surgical method of treatment presents the golden standard as it was shown in the presented case.
