Objective: To report a case of a patient with Castleman's disease associated with brachial plexus injury and review the related literature.

Methodology: The sample comprised a male patient aged 37, who consulted for feeling mass in left infraclavicular region associated with dysesthesias inner side of forearm and wrist, referred history of blunt trauma to that location.

The sources of data for the literature review were obtained from Medline, Cochrane and the annals of the our Association of Hand Surgery.

Results and Conclusions: In the literature there is no record of these lesions in relation to the brachial plexus. The present authors reported a similar case in a woman in her fourth decade of life, with symptoms of brachial plexus compression.

According to the histological types should be directed treatment, when localized disease is surgical resection definitive management.

Recent findings of cytogenetic alterations in stromal cells of hyaline vascular type and the role of IL-6 and HHV 8 in the pathogenesis suggest that the hyaline vascular and plasma cell may even be considered as separate diseases.

Patients with multicentric disease should undergo extension studies for immune status.
