Castleman Disease Pathogenesis

Copyright © 2017 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved..

Castleman disease (CD) describes a group of heterogeneous disorders with common lymph node histopathologic features, including atrophic or hyperplastic germinal centers, prominent follicular dendritic cells, hypervascularization, polyclonal lymphoproliferation, and/or polytypic plasmacytosis. The cause and pathogenesis of the four subtypes of CD (unicentric CD; human herpesvirus-8-associated multicentric CD; polyradiculoneuropathy, organomegaly, endocrinopathy, monoclonal plasma cell disorder, and skin changes [POEMS]-associated multicentric CD; and idiopathic multicentric CD) vary considerably. This article provides a summary of our current understanding of the cause, cell types, signaling pathways, and effector cytokines implicated in the pathogenesis of each subtype.
