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

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

Other possible names are: dendritic reticulum cell sarcoma, (???) follicular dendritic cell neoplasm. (???)

General

  • Very rare.
  • Behave like a low-grade sarcoma.[2]
  • Reported association with Castleman disease (hyaline-vascular type).[2]

Microscopic

Features:[2]

  • 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.
