Castleman disease is an uncommon nonneoplastic, lymphoproliferative disorder of that is associated with lymphadenopathy and nonclonal lymph nodes hyperplasia. It is further subdivided into two types: Unicentric Castleman disease and Multicentric Castleman disease. Unicentric Castleman disease is rare to be reported in patients having AIDS, because HIV infected patients most commonly presented with Multicentric Castleman disease and they mostly coinfected with HHV-8. Herein we reported a rare presentation of Unicentric Castleman disease with hyaline vascular variety evident Histopathologically as a preoperative diagnosis. The patient was initially managed conservatively and surgical excision (excisional biopsy) of the left cervical lymph node was than performed and sent for histopathology. The Immunohistochemistry findings were also consistent with the diagnosis of Castleman disease Hyaline vascular type as evident from left cervical lymph node excisional biopsy.
