Castleman disease in the hilum liver mimicking the lymph node metastasis of hepatocellular carcinoma on 18F-FDG PET/CT: A case report.
Article in Medicine, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
rationaleCastleman disease is a rare lymphoproliferative disorder which etiology is unknown. It is divided into 2 subtypes: the plasma cell variant and the hyaline vascular variant. The most common site is the hilum of the lungs and mediastinum. Castleman disease is often ignored by clinicians because of not frequently encountering in clinical and the lower uptake of F-FDG. Here, we report a case of hepatocellular carcinoma accompanied by Castleman disease in the hilum of the liver, which was misdiagnosed as the lymph node metastasis in F-FDG PET/CT imaging. PATIENT CONCERNS: A 63-year-old male with chief complaint of acratia and poor appetite for 2 weeks. DIAGNOSES: Hepatocellular carcinoma accompanied by Castleman disease in the hilum of liver.
interventionsRight hemihepatectomy and hilar lymph node dissection was performed and preventative transcatheter arterial chemoembolization therapy was given after the surgery. OUTCOMES: The case had multiple systemic metastasis due to tumor progression. LESSONS: Castleman disease is a benign and rare lympholiferative disease, and easy to be ignored in clinical. The case of hepatic carcinoma with Castleman disease in the hilum of liver has never been reported before. Here, we report it and hope it provides a differential diagnosis for clinicians in the following similar cases.
