Castleman Disease

Multicentric Castleman disease is a rare, complex disease that requires close collaboration between the pathologist, laboratory team, and clinicians to diagnose and direct therapy for optimal patient outcomes.

ASCP is committed to helping you be equipped with the knowledge, skills, and competencies needed to ensure patients with Castleman disease are accurately diagnosed so they can receive timely, appropriate therapies to manage their disease.

Case-Based Microlearning

This CME/CMLE-accredited, case-based microlearning activity is designed to help laboratory team members increase their knowledge, skills, and competence in diagnosing multicentric Castleman disease and be informed of changes in clinical practice guidelines. Through a series of six cases addressed in three 20-minute videos developed by a multidisciplinary team, you will gain a greater understanding of multicentric Castleman disease, how to differentiate it from potential mimics, and updated guidelines for diagnosis.

This microlearning series includes the following topics:

  • Types of Castleman disease, disease pathology, and morphological features
  • Challenges in diagnosis of multicentric Castleman disease and differentiation from potential mimics
  • Clinical practice guidelines for diagnosis and treatment
  • Current/emerging therapies in the management of multicentric Castleman disease
  • The importance of a multidisciplinary team-based approach to the diagnosis and management of multicentric Castleman disease
