View Main Condition: Castleman Disease

What is the definition of Unicentric Castleman Disease (UCD)?
Unicentric Castleman disease (UCD) is a condition that affects the lymph nodes and related tissues. It is a form of Castleman disease that is "localized" to a single set of lymph nodes (as opposed to multicentric Castleman disease which has more widespread effects). UCD often starts as an enlarged lymph node. Depending on the location of this enlarged node, some people will have no additional features of the condition, while others will develop symptoms when it pushes on nearby organs and/or tissues. The exact underlying cause of UCD is currently unknown.
What are the alternative names for Unicentric Castleman Disease (UCD)?
