| Abstract |
Castleman's disease is a clinicopathological entity associated with lymphoproliferation. We report a case of a 71 year old gentleman who was initially clinically suspected to have lymphoma (owing to clinical features at presentation), but was later histologically confirmed to have Castleman's disease. This case report underlines the importance of definitive histological diagnosis in patients with lympadenopathic presentation associated with systemic symptoms and the distinctiveness of multicentric Castleman's disease from malignant lymphoma. In this report we also attempt to provide new insight (through the review of medical literature) into the clinical features, pathogenesis, diagnosis and treatment of this rare and relatively benign disorder. |

Attention Score in Context
This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 3. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 06 July 2011.
All research outputs
#7,452,489
of 22,783,848 outputs
Outputs from Journal of Medical Case Reports
#630
of 3,912 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#24,877
of 70,008 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Journal of Medical Case Reports
#5
of 21 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 22,783,848 research outputs across all sources so far. This one is in the 44th percentile – i.e., 44% of other outputs scored the same or lower than it.
So far Altmetric has tracked 3,912 research outputs from this source. They receive a mean Attention Score of 3.9. This one has done well, scoring higher than 80% of its peers.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 70,008 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one is in the 17th percentile – i.e., 17% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
We're also able to compare this research output to 21 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one is in the 38th percentile – i.e., 38% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
