[2025-10-01T21:09:17.031858] [PI reasoning] **Analyzing retroperitoneal mass**

I need to answer a question about a retroperitoneal mass associated with intermittent fever, normal peripheral smear, and no significant weight loss or anorexia. The options are Non-Hodgkin lymphoma, Castleman disease, Angiolymphoid hyperplasia, and IgG4 disease. 

Castleman disease is a contender here, as it can occur in the retroperitoneum and sometimes presents with fever. Angiolymphoid hyperplasia typically involves skin lesions. IgG4 disease can cause fibrotic masses but has distinct histology. NHL would typically show more systemic symptoms and abnormal blood findings. I'll choose Castleman disease as the best answer.
