Multicentric Castleman's disease (MCD) of plasma cell type is a reactive lymphoproliferative disease. While 67Ga scanning is useful in the detection of malignant lymphomas, its role in reactive lymphadenopathy is unknown. We report the absence of 67Ga uptake in three patients with MCD of plasma cell type and present a review of the English literature on this condition.
