Conclusions

Castleman disease is an uncommon lymphoprolifera­tive disorder that continues to pose clinical challenges. Although surgical resection remains the standard ther­apy for unicentric disease, the landscape for the man­agement of multicentric disease continues to evolve.

Rituximab monotherapy is the current mainstay of therapy, and novel agents targeting interleukin 6 repre­sent exciting new additions to the treatment armamen­tarium. Single-agent and combination chemotherapies as well as antiviral therapy provide adjunctive support, particularly in the setting of relapsed or refractory dis­ease.

The ongoing exploration of antiviral and novel strategies, such as proteasome inhibition, is warranted. The management of Castleman disease also requires careful attention to potential concomitant infections, malignancies, and associated syndromes.
