A case of unifocal cervical Castleman's disease without systemic manifestations occurring in a 12 year-old child is reported. Histological examination showed the characteristic features of angiofollicular lymph node hyperplasia. The results of immunological and in situ hybridization studies are also reported. A local IL6 secretion in the interfollicular areas was demonstrated.
