'''Follicular dendritic cell sarcoma''', abbreviated '''FDCS''', is a very rare [[malignant]] tumour. | |||
It is also known as '''follicular dendritic cell tumour''' (abbreviated '''FDCT'''.<ref name=pmid17515347>{{Cite journal | last1 = Leipsic | first1 = JA. | last2 = McAdams | first2 = HP. | last3 = Sporn | first3 = TA. | title = Follicular dendritic cell sarcoma of the mediastinum. | journal = AJR Am J Roentgenol | volume = 188 | issue = 6 | pages = W554-6 | month = Jun | year = 2007 | doi = 10.2214/AJR.04.1530 | PMID = 17515347 }}</ref> | |||
