“…The tumors located in the abdominal cavity or abdominal organs are found deeper and are larger, with the presence of hemorrhage and necrosis, and possible infiltration into the adjacent parenchymal organs or soft tissues, as reported in the present case, which was consistent with the literature (17). On magnetic resonance imaging, FDCS may appear as an isointense expansive mass on T1-weighted scans, while homogeneous and slightly hyperintense on T2-weighted scans following gadolinium injection, with uniform moderate enhancement (18). These features may be useful in the diagnosis of this rare condition.…”

Abstract. Follicular dendritic cell sarcoma (FDCS), which originates in antigen-presenting cells of the B-cell follicles of the lymph nodes, is an uncommon disease, particularly in a splenic location. In a number of cases, FDCS may easily be confused with other solid tumors and be underdiagnosed. The present study reports a case in which such as tumor occurred in a 64-year-old woman. The patient presented with an abdominal mass, and computed tomography was performed. Histological and immunohistochemical studies revealed a diagnosis of FDCS. The patient underwent surgical treatment and had a good remission. At the time of writing, the patient was in good condition. The present study also discusses the clinical characteristics, treatment methods and prognosis of FDCS, with particular reference to the main points of the imaging diagnosis.

“…Muchos pacientes con FDCS se presentan a la consulta con una masa indolora, de lento crecimiento y bien delimitada 3 Para su diagnóstico es obligatorio el examen histológico y las pruebas inmunohistoquímicas. El examen histológico revela a menudo células ovales eosinofílicas o fusiformes, distribuidas en hojas y fascículos 8 , que normalmente se tiñen positivamente con los marcadores inmunohistoquími-cos CD21, CD23, CD35, CD31, KI-M4, Ki-M4p, proteína S-100 y vimentina 1---8 .…”

“…El pronóstico se agrava con el tamaño tumoral (> 5-6 cm) y la presencia de pleomorfismo nuclear, numerosas mitosis (> 5 por 10 campo de gran aumento), necrosis coagulativa o atipias celulares en el examen histológico 3,6,8 . En el caso actual no se había reportado ninguno de estos factores pronósticos; el paciente falleció probablemente debido a otras situaciones no relacionadas con el tumor.…”

Sarcomas comprise a heterogeneous and biologically diverse group of malignant neoplasms having as a common denominator their origin from mesenchymal cells. Head and neck sarcomas account for 4 to less than 20% of total body sarcomas depending on the criteria, such as age of patients (pediatric vs adult population), type of sarcomas (soft-tissue vs bony sarcomas) and site of location. Although head and neck sarcomas occur infrequently in adults, in the pediatric population one in three sarcomas will occur in the head and neck region. Most head and neck sarcomas are of the soft-tissue type, with only 20% being of bony or cartilaginous origin. Sarcomas display a diverse array of histologies and a wide spectrum of clinical behavior, ranging from relatively slow growing lesions to aggressive locally and regionally destructive tumors with the potential for systemic metastases. Osteosarcomas, rhabdomyosarcomas, pleomorphic sarcomas (malignant fibrous histiocytomas), fibrosarcomas and angiosarcomas are among the most common histologic types of sarcoma found in the head and neck. Surgery has been the primary therapeutic approach for the management of head and neck sarcomas. Survival rates for head and neck sarcomas suggest worse outcomes than for their extremity counterparts. Lymph node metastasis only occurs in 3-10% of sarcomas of the head and neck. An improvement in local disease control has recently been suggested with the combined use of surgery and radiotherapy. Conflicting results have been reported on the benefit from the use of chemotherapy as an adjuvant or neoadjuvant regimen, especially for high-grade sarcomas in long-term survival or local disease control. Encouraging results have recently been reported with the use of molecular targeted therapies with tyrosine kinase inhibitors and antiangiogenetic agents.
