Rare Submandibular Presentation of Pediatric Castleman Disease: Case Report Jodi Hamilton, BS,* and Louis Mandel, DDSy

Castleman disease (CD), a benign lymphoproliferative disorder that affects lymph nodes, is uncommon in children, with only approximately 100 cases published. Although 23% of pediatric CD cases are found in the neck, there is no substantial reported percentage found in the salivary glands, especially the submandibular salivary gland (SMSG). A pediatric case of CD involving the SMSG is reported because of its extreme rarity. Ó 2016 Published by Elsevier Inc on behalf of the American Association of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgeons J Oral Maxillofac Surg -:1-4, 2016 Castleman disease (CD), often referred to as giant or angiofollicular lymph node hyperplasia, was first described by Castleman and Towne1 in 1954. It is a rare lymphoproliferative disorder, with a prevalence of 1 in 100,000 patients,2 characterized by a progressive lymphadenopathy that can develop anywhere in the lymphatic system. Because of its relative rarity, no large study is available to indicate the disease’s natural history. The median age is reported to be 43 years,3 with a slight female predilection.4 Its distribution in adults is reported as 60% in the thorax, 14% in the cervical area, 11% in the abdomen, and 4% in the axillary region.5,6 The entity is a very rare occurrence in children,2,5,7,8 with a distribution that differs from adults in that 33% occur in the thorax, 23% in the neck, 30% in the abdomen, and 7% in the axilla.5-7 CD is best classified into 3 histopathologic categories2,9,10: the hyaline vascular (HV), the plasma cell group, and an occasional mixed variety, with 90% being HV in type.2,6 Those cases of CD that occur in the head and neck area are almost always in the HV category.11 Lesions vary in size from 2 to 10 cm.6,12 Clinically, each histopathologic type can manifest in a unicentric or multicentric pattern. The
HV variety of CD (HVCD) is usually unicentric with a benign progression.8,9 Patients with CD of the plasma cell type tend to exhibit multicentric node involvement with aggressive growth patterns. They also usually have constitutional symptoms that can include fever, sweating, anemia, hypergammaglobulinemia, hypoalbuminemia, and an association with the POEMS (polyneuropathy, organomegaly, endocrinopathy, M-protein, skin pigmentation) syndrome.3,6,13-15 Although the exact etiology of CD is unknown, long-term exposure to the viruses human herpesvirus-8 and human immunodeficiency virus can play a role in its development.6,10,11,15-18 In addition, overproduction of the cytokine interleukin-6 has been suggested as a causative factor.3,12,13,17 Diagnosis of CD is difficult because its clinical symptomatology is nonspecific. The HV variety classically presents as a well-circumscribed, slowly expanding, asymptomatic unicentric mass with no associated bruit or pulsation. The multicentricity of the CD plasma cell variety and its accompanying systemic manifestations facilitate its diagnosis. Involvement of a salivary gland by CD is uncommon, particularly in children.

SUBMANDIBULAR PEDIATRIC CASTLEMAN DISEASE
several reports of HVCD in the parotid area of children2,6,19-25 but few pediatric cases of HVCD in the area of the submandibular salivary gland (SMSG).26-28 This case is presented because CD is uncommon in children and because of its even greater rarity in the SMSG region.
Report of Case A 12-year-old girl was seen at the Columbia University Salivary Gland Center (New York, NY) because of a slowly growing mass involving the area of the right SMSG (Fig 1). The mass had been present for at least 2 years, did not fluctuate in size, and did not cause any discomfort. Recently, growth had become a cosmetic issue and served as the impetus for care. Extraorally, the lesion was seen to occupy the area of the right SMSG and measured approximately 5 4 cm. Palpation indicated that the growth was well circumscribed, movable, firm, and painless. No cervical lymphadenopathy was present. Intraorally, no swelling of the posterior right mouth floor was evident. Simultaneous intraoral and extraoral palpation confirmed the presence of a large mass located inferior to the mylohyoid muscle in the submandibular triangle. Computed tomogram (CT) visualized the presence of a homogeneously enhancing lesion in the expected location of the right SMSG (Fig 2). A distinct right SMSG was not seen. The mass was noted to be well marginated with no evidence of local invasion. No lymphadenopathies were observed of adjacent tissues. The report stated that the lesion most

likely represented a primary tumor of the SMSG, probably a pleomorphic adenoma. Other possible diagnoses included lymphoma, cat scratch disease, tuberculosis, sarcoidosis, and different benign and malignant SMSG neoplasms. Surgical removal of the circumscribed mass was facilitated by the presence of the well-developed capsule. The specimen was submitted for microscopic examination. A diagnosis of HVCD was made.
Discussion Microscopically, the pathognomonic pattern of HVCD has been defined6,13,17,18 (Fig 3). The HVCD involved lymph node exhibits many lymphoid follicles with small involuted germinal centers. The follicles, consisting of B cells, have an expanded mantle zone containing densely packed lymphocytes arranged in a concentric ring pattern. The germinal centers are atrophic and hyalinized. An increased vascularity, involving the germinal centers and the interfollicular areas, is the cause of the enhancement seen on CT. Unfortunately, HVCD has no specific diagnostic clinical features. Misdiagnosis is common, particularly because it tends to mimic a neoplasm. Because the clinical presentation is similar to other pathologic entities and its occurrence in the neck of the pediatric population, CD should be included in the differential diagnosis of all their slowly progressing cervical growths. Fine-needle aspiration biopsy of a HVCD nodule has no value because it only shows a nondiagnostic reactive lymphoid hyperplasia.6,8,11,12 These facts, combined with an infrequent occurrence, serve to impede preoperative diagnosis. It is only after microscopic examination of the surgical specimen that a definitive diagnosis of HVCD can be made. Although CD presents nonspecific clinical features, CT can be helpful in diagnosis. The enlarged culpable lymph node is isodense in relation to the adjacent soft tissue. The mass is well marginated and homogeneous and mimics the appearance of a benign neoplasm. Some help in achieving a preoperative diagnosis also is provided by the fact that the enlarged CD lymph node will enhance when contrast is used. The enhancement results from the increased vascularity of CD. In the present case, the exact location of the CD involved lymph node is open to question. Despite isolated reports of the presence of intraglandular SMSG lymph nodes,29,30 the SMSG, unlike the PG, is not Q3 known to contain intraglandular lymph nodes.31-33 The paucity of intraparenchymal SMSG lymph nodes can be explained embryologically. The lymphatic system develops after the SMSG has been encapsulated. In consequence, lymph nodes and lymphatic channels do not become entrapped within

the parenchyma of this gland.31,34 Conversely, the embryologic development of the PG is such that the PG capsule forms after lymph node development, resulting in the known presence of intraglandular lymph nodes. No salivary gland tissue was visualized on CT or during surgery and was not observed in the microscopic study. The diseased CD lymph node probably originated within the SMSG and eventually replaced the
gland. Nevertheless, the diseased lymph node might have had an extraglandular location on the surface of the SMSG capsule. With the marked growth of this para-glandular diseased node, the SMSG can be displaced peripherally and atrophy. Therefore, the relation between the diseased node and the SMSG remains problematic. Nonetheless, involvement of the SMSG by CD in a pediatric patent is a rarity and should be reported.

Treatment Fortunately, HVCD represents 90% of cases seen in young patients, with 90% of these being unicentric.21 The prognosis of these unicentric HVCD pediatric cases is excellent. Surgical excision of these circumscribed masses leads to full recovery.6,8,14,18 Recurrences are rare and have been attributed to incomplete removal.14 In contrast, there is no widely accepted treatment for multicentric CD. Surgery, chemotherapy steroids, radiation, and immunotherapy have had limited success.2,13,18,21,35
