Copyright © 2023 The Authors. Published by Elsevier Ltd.. All rights reserved..

Idiopathic multicentric Castleman disease (iMCD) is a rare disease, and it is likely underdiagnosed because of the heterogeneity of clinical manifestations and laboratory findings. While the disease leads to significant morbidity and mortality, its causes are not yet fully elucidated. There have been significant advances in diagnosis and treatment of iMCD in the past decade, including the approval of the anti-IL-6 antibody siltuximab. In this review, we provide an update of the many new developments and publications surrounding iMCD.
