Abstract
Castleman's disease may cause systemic symptoms with biochemical and haematological disturbances (Featherstone et al. 1990). These usually resolve completely soon after surgical removal of the abnormal mass. We report two cases of infertility associated with the systemic disturbances of abdominal Castleman's disease. Both women conceived less than one year after removal of the 'tumour' and delivered normal infants.
