UDAQUIOLA, Julia Elena et al. Cervical Castleman's disease: Pediatric case report. Arch. argent. pediatr. [online]. 2013, vol.111, n.4, pp.e89-e93. ISSN 0325-0075.  http://dx.doi.org/10.5546/aap.2013.e89.

Castleman's disease (CD) is a rare entity, characterized by lymph node follicles hyperplasia. It rarely occurs in children. We present a case of a 9 year old girl with CD in the parotid region. This disease, although it's low incidence in pediatric population, may mimic a malignant neoplasm and should be a differential diagnosis in cervical masses.
