Sumario:We present the case of a 25-year-old woman with fever of unknown origin, whose cervical node biopsy study was reported as Castleman disease, but who at follow-up turned out to be multisystem tuberculosis. He received antituberculous treatment with good clinical and laboratory evolution at follow-up.
