==Epidemiology/Prevalence==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
HHV8 Positive Multicentric Castleman Disease occurs in immunosuppressed patients across all ethnic groups, particularly in association with HIV/AIDS. &amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;:1&amp;quot; /&amp;gt; Immunocompetent individuals may be affected with the disease in HHV8 endemic areas such as sub-Saharan Africa and Mediterranean countries. In cases where HIV was acquired via sexual transmission, there is a strong association with the development of HHV8-positive MCD, men are predominantly affected.&lt;br /&gt;

==Sites of Involvement==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Multicentric Castleman Disease affects multiple lymph node sites, predominantly in the cervical region and commonly involves the spleen.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;:2&amp;quot;&amp;gt;Balakrishna J. Castleman disease. PathologyOutlines.com website.&amp;lt;nowiki&amp;gt;https://www.pathologyoutlines.com/topic/lymphnodescastleman.html&amp;lt;/nowiki&amp;gt;.

&lt;br /&gt;
==Morphologic Features==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
HHV8-infected plasmablasts are the characteristic features of HHV8 Multicentric Castleman disease.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;:2&amp;quot; /&amp;gt; Plasmablasts are present in the lymph node and spleen.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;:0&amp;quot; /&amp;gt; The B cell follicles of lymph nodes shows varying degree of hyalinization and involution of germinal centers with prominent mantle zones that may intrude and efface the germinal centers.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;:1&amp;quot; /&amp;gt; Follicles may show onion skinning or widened concentric rings of mantle zone lymphocytes along with prominent penetrating venules, these findings are typical of Castleman disease.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;:1&amp;quot; /&amp;gt; Variable numbers of medium to large plasmablasts with amphophilic cytoplasm and eccentrically placed nuclei can be found among the mantle zone cells and adjacent interfollicular regions.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;:1&amp;quot; /&amp;gt; Sheets of mature plasma cells may be seen expanding the interfollicular region, some such cells may display cytoplasmic inclusions (Russell bodies) or crystalline forms.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;:1&amp;quot; /&amp;gt; With disease progression, the plasmablasts increase in number and may coalesce to form clusters.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;:1&amp;quot; /&amp;gt; If the disease proceeds to become HHV8-positive diffuse large B-cell lymphoma, NOS these clusters may expand clonally to form sheets of lymphoma cells that efface the normal follicular architecture.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;:1&amp;quot; /&amp;gt; Plasmablastic aggregates that develop during disease progression may be oligoclonal or monoclonal. &lt;br /&gt;
