We report on a 16 years old lady with solitary Castleman disease of hyaline vascular type, involving right adrenal. Patient underwent right open adrenalectomy and no evidence of disease recurrence in 1 year follow up after surgery. In addition, we also discuss on the pathogenesis of the disease, clinical features and option of treatment.
