Castleman disease is a rare, heterogeneous group of lymphoproliferative disorders. It is classified as unicentric or multicentric. The unicentric type involves the growth of a single lymph node or a cluster of lymph nodes in the same region, which may present incidentally or cause obstructive symptoms depending on the anatomical location. We present the case of a 45-year-old male who developed abdominal pain in the epigastrium and upper right quadrant, pruritus, and jaundice for two months. He was diagnosed with a benign biliary stricture associated with Castleman disease, which was managed successfully with surgical intervention. We conclude that this condition is highly uncommon, presents a wide spectrum of differential diagnoses, and tends to recur; therefore, surgical resolution is suggested.
