Abstract
Castleman's disease, angio-follicular lymph node hyperplasia, is a relatively rare benign tumour. It typically arises in the mediastinum. We report a unique case arising in the erector spinae muscle. The case demonstrates the importance of radiological investigation and embolisation prior to obtaining a tissue diagnosis and subsequent surgical excision.
