Follicular dendritic cell sarcoma with atypical features surrounding undescended testis: description of a rare case

چکیده
Dendritic cell tumors are extremely rare neoplasms and occur both in nodal and extranodal sites. We report a case of an intra-abdominal follicular dendritic cell sarcoma (FDCS). The aim of this study is to describe histological, immunohistochemical, and ultrastructural features of FDCS in order to better define an abdominal mass with unusual immunophenotype and atypical clinical and radiological presentation.

متن کاملPrimary mesenteric follicular dendritic cell sarcoma associated with Castleman’s disease: a case report and review of literature
Follicular dendritic cell sarcoma (FDCS) is a rare malignant neoplasm of immune accessory follicular dendritic cells and may be associated with Castleman’s disease, which is recognized as a known precursor to FDCS. FDCSs in the mesentery are extremely rare. A correct diagnosis can be difficult to make. Clinically, the diagnosis of FDCS relies on the combined clinical examination, radiology, his...
متن کاملFollicular Dendritic Cell Sarcoma of the Inflammatory Pseudotumor-like Variant Presenting as a Colonic Polyp
Follicular dendritic cell (FDC) sarcoma is rare and is classified either as conventional type or inflammatory pseudotumor (IPT)-like variant. Extranodal presentation is uncommon and nearly all gastrointestinal FDC tumors are of the conventional type. IPT-like variant tumors occur almost exclusively in the liver and spleen and are consistently associated with Epstein-Barr virus (EBV). Here we re...
