Siddiqui"],"abstract":"Background: There are very few reports in the literature of Castleman's disease affecting the carotid artery and a single previous report of a case of Castleman's disease of the neck originally mistaken as a carotid body tumor. Case Description: We describe a rare case of Castleman's disease, manifesting with classic radiographic hallmarks of a carotid body tumor. The postoperative pathologic examination identified the resected mass as Castleman's lymphadenopathy. The management of this particular case is discussed, and the findings are highlighted. Conclusions: We present a unique case of a tumor initially and incorrectly diagnosed as a carotid body tumor. However, after comprehensive treatment with endovascular and surgical modalities and subsequent pathologic examination, the diagnosis of this rare entity was made.","thumbnailUrl":"https://sni-digital-videos.s3.amazonaws.com/articles/f1021856-a938-46d0-aff1-e3714de3f03d/featured/hero-1782420946022.png","publishDate":"2015-12-07T00:00:00.000Z","doi":"10.4103/2152-7806.171239","categories":["Case Report"],"fullTextUrl":"http://surgicalneurologyint.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/12/6398/SNI-6-181.pdf"}
