ABSTRACT=<p>Castleman’s disease (CD) is a primary lymphoproliferative disorder of the lymph nodes with rare extra-nodal primary affection. Solid organ involvement is rare, and isolated liver involvement is extremely rare. Here we presented a case of a 59-year-old woman with a hepatic lesion accidentally found by ultrasound. The MRI result indicated primary liver malignancy or liver metastases. <sup>18</sup>F-FDG PET/CT could not exclude hepatic malignant tumor due to its high metabolism. Finally, the hepatic CD was confirmed by postoperative pathology.</p>
