Abstract
Castleman's disease (CD) is a relatively rare and benign disorder. Pancreatic localization of CD is even more rare and is usually indistinguishable from pancreatic neoplasms. We report three cases of CD in which pancreas was all involved. One located in the tail of the pancreas, who accepted distal pancreatectomy, and the others in the head accepted enucleation. In addition, we review current data on its pathogenesis, imaging findings, diagnosis, differential diagnosis, and treatment.Entities:
