Laparoscopic Treatment For Retroperitoneal Hyaline-Vascular Type Localized Castleman'S Disease (Lcd) In The Iliac Vessel Region

To improve the understanding, diagnostic levels, and therapeutic levels of retroperitoneal hyaline vascular type LCD in the iliac vessel region. Diagnostic and therapeutic processes of 4 patients with retroperitoneal LCD in the iliac vessel region were retrospectively analyzed. The median ages of the research patients was 31.3 years old, Pelvic vascular dual-source computed tomography (CT) indicated an abnormal pelvic irregular cloddy intensity shadow with heterogeneous densities and punctate calcified lesions. The enhanced scanning showed significantly enhanced lesions and multiple tortuous vascular images inside and around the lesions. Patients' preoperative diagnoses were all "pelvic mass with unknown characteristics", and retroperitoneal masses were successfully stripped off after the laparoscopic surgery. Intra operative findings indicated 1 mass located at the left obturator nerve, 1 at the left internal iliac artery, and 2 at the right external iliac artery. The postoperative pathological reports suggest a diagnosis of Castleman's disease. Retroperitoneal LCD in the iliac vessel region is generally asymptomatic. Preoperative imaging data may help with the diagnosis, but a confirmed diagnosis depends on the results of the pathological examination. Iliac artery embolization is performed prior to laparoscopic mass stripping if the masses have abundant blood supply, while lymphadenectomy is also applied to those with enlarged lymph nodes.
