Lymphatic tissue is present throughout our whole body and each lymphoid tissue has its own function. Cells present in lymphatic tissue are B-cells, T-cells, and type of WBC (White blood cell).
All these Lymphatic tissues help in boosting immunity and fighting any kind of infection. But when this lymphatic tissue does not work properly and is infected it leads the cells to divide abnormally causing them to form a tumor.
Castleman tumor is a rare tumor of the lymph node and its tissues. It is noncancerous and is not dangerous. It is known as a lymphoproliferative disorder which means the cells grow abnormally present in the lymphatic system similar to lymphoma (cancer of lymphatic tissue). But one thing to note that cases of Castle tumor with malignancy have not been noted.
Unicentric Tumor:- It is one of the commonest types of Castle tumor. This tumor does not have the tendency to spread from one place to another and is commonly found in the chest or abdomen. If the lymph node is enlarged it might press the windpipe.
Multicentric Tumor:-It affects more than one group of Lymphatic tissue. The tumor can be found or detected in more than one place on the body. People with HIV or AIDS have a high tendency to develop Multicentric tumors.
The symptoms may vary depending on the location of the tumor. The most commonly presented symptoms are:-
People who have Castleman Tumor have abnormally high levels of blood in response to immunity which can cause tumors. For example, in multicentric cases, the body produces too much protein called Interleukin-6 to regulate immune function. High levels can cause the lymphocyte to grow and lead to tumors.
One of the causes is an infection caused by Human herpesvirus (HHV8) also known as Kaposi sarcoma herpesvirus. The virus can lead to abnormal growth of the cells to form the Castleman tumor.
