Castleman's disease in a patient with celiac disease.

A 72-year-old man with celiac disease was doing well on gluten-free diet. Five years later, he developed dyspepsia, fever and weight loss. CT scan and laparoscopic biopsies of small mesenteric lymph nodes clinched the diagnosis of Castleman's disease. He was started on chlorambucil; unfortunately he died few months after the diagnosis was made.
