Case in brief

A 28-year-old man presented with cough and hemoptysis, leading to the discovery of a mediastinal mass via chest CT. A bronchoscopy-guided biopsy indicated lymphoid tissue hyperplasia. After ruling out malignancy through multidisciplinary consultation, the patient underwent thoracoscopic-assisted resection, which confirmed a diagnosis of unicentric Castleman disease (hyaline-vascular variant). He recovered well post-surgery.

Diagnostic / clinical pearl

Minimally invasive tissue sampling via bronchoscopy can aid in diagnosing mediastinal masses, particularly when clinical symptoms are non-specific.

Why it matters

Multidisciplinary team discussions are crucial in formulating effective diagnostic and treatment strategies for complex cases like mediastinal Castleman disease.
