Follicular dendritic cell sarcoma, abbreviated FDCS, is a very rare malignant tumour.

It is also known as follicular dendritic cell tumour (abbreviated FDCT),[1] and follicular dendritic cell neoplasm.[2]

General

  • Very rare.
  • Behave like a low-grade sarcoma.[3]
  • Reported association with Castleman disease (hyaline-vascular type).[3]

WHO 2001 classification of dendritic cell neoplasms:[4]

  • Langerhans cell histiocytosis.
  • Langerhans cell sarcoma.
  • Interdigitating dendritic cell sarcoma/tumour.
  • Follicular dendritic cell sarcoma/tumour.
  • Dendritic cell sarcoma, not specified otherwise.

Microscopic

Features:[3]

  • Oval or spindle-shaped cellular & nuclear morphology.
  • Variable architecture (sheets, fascicles, whorles, storiform pattern).
  • Nuclei:
    • Small nucleoli.
    • Clear or dispersed chromatin.
  • Multinucleated cells.
  • Interspersed small lymphocytes - distinctive feature.
  • +/-Necrosis.
  • +/-Marked nuclear atypia.
  • +/-Abundant mitoses.

IHC

Features:[3]

  • CD21 +ve.

  • Ki-FDRC1p +ve.
  • Vimentin +ve.
  • S-100 +ve/-ve.
  • Muscle-specific actin +ve/-ve.
  • EMA +ve/-ve.

Additional stains:[7]

  • CD23 +ve.
