Isolated leptomeningeal Castleman's disease with viral particles in the follicular dendritic cells.

To our knowledge, five cases of Castleman's disease involving only the central nervous system have been reported previously. We report a sixth case, which occurred in a 47-year-old woman with a 3-month history of headaches and a large superior frontal lobe mass on neuroimaging. Excisional biopsy revealed confluent lymphoid nodular areas with multiple well-developed germinal centers surrounded by concentrically layered proliferations of small B lymphocytes typical of Castleman's disease. Ultrastructural study found 100-nm virallike particles within follicular dendritic cells as well as intercellular spaces. These particles were suggestive of a D-type retrovirus. The patient underwent postoperative radiotherapy and was neurologically normal 3 months after surgery.

Working with recruiters. Physicians sound off in CyberForums about their experiences with recruiters.

Searching for your next job is never easy. You generally need all the help you can get. Often, that means working with physician recruiters who have the connections to help you land a great position. But dealing with recruiters can be both rewarding and frustrating. In two ACPE CyberForums facilitated by Barry Herman--one in 1999 and another just a few months ago--participants talked about the role of recruiters, offering advice and tips that can help physician executives carry out a successful job search.
