1 Castleman disease of the pleura: experience with eight surgically proven cases 
Sheung-Fat Ko, MD, Shu-Hang Ng, MD, Ming-Jang Hsieh, MD, Jui-Wei Lin, MD, Chung-Cheng Huang, MD, Tze-Yu Lee, MD, Wei-Jen Chen, MD  The Annals of Thoracic Surgery  Volume 76, Issue 1, Pages (July 2003) DOI: /S (03)

2 Fig 1 Patient 1. (A) Enhanced chest computed tomography shows a homogeneous mass with moderate enhancement in the left major fissure. (B) At surgery, an intrafissural mass (arrows) between the left upper and lower lobes (triangles) with prominent superficial arterial supplies from the pleural vessels and severe adhesion to adjacent lung tissues was noted. (C and D) Histopathologic sections (hematoxylin & eosin stain) at two magnifications, (C) original magnification ×40 and (D) original magnification ×100, show typical features of hyaline-vascular Castleman disease with hyalinized vessels within germinal follicles that are surrounded by onion-like lymphocytes. The Annals of Thoracic Surgery  , DOI: ( /S (03) )

3 Fig 2 Patient 2. Enhanced chest computed tomography shows massive left pleural effusion and a slightly lobulated parietal pleural mass with strong enhancement and focal erosion of the adjacent rib (arrow). The Annals of Thoracic Surgery  , DOI: ( /S (03) )

4 Fig 3 Patient 6. Magnetic resonance imaging of the thorax depicts a heterogeneously hyperintense pleural mass (arrow) attaching to the descending aorta and pericardium. The Annals of Thoracic Surgery  , DOI: ( /S (03) )
