The term "Castleman disease" covers a variety of entities that have very different clinical, biological, pathological and physiopathological features. In this issue, we review the characteristics of the unicentric Castleman disease, of the HHV8 associated multicentric Castleman disease and the idiopathic multicentric Castleman disease associated or not with TAFRO syndrome ("thrombocytopenia, anasarca, fever, reticulin myelofibrosis and/or renal insufficiency, organomegaly"). We detail the differential diagnostics of these entities.
Keywords: Castleman disease; HHV8; Maladie de Castleman; Multicentric; Multicentrique; Uncentric; Unicentrique.
