International Consensus Histopathological Criteria for Subtyping Idiopathic Multicentric Castleman Disease Based on Machine Learning Analysis. [PDF]
ABSTRACT Idiopathic multicentric Castleman disease (iMCD) is a rare lymphoproliferative disorder classified into three recognized clinical subtypes—idiopathic plasmacytic lymphadenopathy (IPL), TAFRO, and NOS. Although clinical criteria are available for subtyping, diagnostically challenging cases with overlapping histopathological features highlight ...

Clinical Presentation, Treatment, and Outcomes of 28 Patients With Castleman Disease: A Retrospective Analysis of an Italian Cohort. [PDF]
ABSTRACT Background Castleman disease (CD) encompasses a range of heterogeneous non‐clonal lymphoproliferative disorders, including unicentric (UCD), and multicentric (MCD) forms. The latter is subdivided into HHV‐8+ MCD, POEMS‐MCD, and idiopathic‐MCD, not otherwise specified (iMCD‐NOS).
