Mediastinal Castleman disease mimicking mediastinal pulmonary sequestration

J Thorac Imaging. 2005 Aug;20(3):229-32. doi: 10.1097/01.rti.0000155045.82156.e4.

Abstract

We describe a 39-year-old woman who presented with anterior mediastinal Castleman disease that mimicked an anterior mediastinal pulmonary sequestration due to the presence of both prominent systemic arterial feeding vessels and a systemic draining vein as seen on computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging.
