Abstract (2. Language): 
A 28 Years old female presented with a right axillary swelling in Talegaon General Hospital in April 2007. The patient was afebrile and on examination, had no organomegaly or any other lymphadenopathy. Her haematological , biochemical & radiological investigation did not reveal any abnormality. Clinically, the case was diagnosed as ?Lipoma/ ?Neurofibroma, which was followed by excision. A wellcircumscribed specimen, measuring 8x8x3cm, soft to firm in consistency and grey in colour was received in the department of Pathology, MIMER Medical College, Talegaon Dabhade. The histopathological diagnosis of Castleman’s Disease – Hyaline Vascular type (Solitary form) was offered. The solitary form of Castleman’s Disease most commonly presents as a mass located in the mediastinum. This case is presented because of its occurrence in the axillary region – an unusual site.
