To report a case of multicentric Castleman disease that presented with scleritis.

A 42-year-old male presented with decreased visual acuity in the left eye. Castleman disease had been diagnosed 21 months before and treated with systemic steroids and combined chemotherapy. Best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA) of the left eye was 0.02 and the intraocular pressure was 42 mmHg. Scleral edema and corneal edema were noted using a slit lamp examination. The anterior chamber cell was 2+ according to Standardization of Uveitis Nomenclature criteria. The fundus was invisible due to the anterior segment lesion. After one month, scleritis developed in the right eye and the patient complained of ocular pain. Topical steroids and non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs were prescribed. Due to recurrent scleritis and anterior uveitis, cataract extraction and laser iridectomy were performed on the left eye, and systemic steroids and the antimetabolite methotrexate were started. After 9 years of follow-up, all medications were stopped and there was no recurrence of inflammation, with a BCVA of 1.0 in both eyes.

Treatment of a patient with scleritis accompanied with Castleman disease using systemic steroids and methotrexate resulted in a good prognosis.
