What Is Castleman Disease?
Reviewed: Dr. Gromatzky
3. No Symptoms
In many cases, people that have Castleman disease will show no symptoms and will not even be aware they have the condition at all. It is often only found when the patient is undergoing a check-up, or when a doctor is looking for signs of another medical condition.
When symptoms do show, they are often not serious. The condition does have the potential to go on to be life-threatening, however, so it should be treated as a serious condition as soon as it is diagnosed. The good news is that the condition can often be treated, while unicentric Castleman disease is easier to treat than multicentric Castleman disease.
