Castleman Disease (CD) is a rare benign disorder characterized by abnormal lymphoid tissue growth. It can be classified as unicentric CD (UCD) affecting a single lymph node region or multicentric CD (MCD) involving multiple regions. While UCD typically occurs in the mediastinum, MCD is associated with inflammatory symptoms and abnormal lab findings. We present a case of a young Syrian male with pelvic UCD, exhibiting unusual symptoms. Surgical excision led to complete recovery.
