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]

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.
