Description
Summary:Abstract We present the case of a 26‐year‐old female with chronic urticaria (CU) with systemic symptoms in whom comprehensive laboratory and imaging studies led to the diagnosis of idiopathic multicentric Castleman disease.

Our case also emphasized the association of CU with an underlying systemic disease.
