Castleman's disease (CD) is a rare, benign disease of unknown cause that induces reactive lymph node hyperplasia. The disease was first defined by Dr Benjamin Castleman. It is an unusual cause of a neck mass. The goal of this paper is to report a rare case of Castleman's disease at unusual site (level IB) and discuss its management.
