“…Binucleated or multilobated giant cells, nuclear grooving and pseudoinclusions are observed. The reticulated pattern, the most distinctive feature in this case, is also in accordance with the recent description of cytological features of a case of FDC sarcoma by Yang et al 10 They pointed out that the cytoplasmic processes of other spindle cell tumours, such as leiomyosarcoma, fibrosarcoma, peripheral nerve sheath tumour and gastrointestinal stromal tumour, are bipolar rather than multipolar, which is characteristic of dendritic cell sarcomas and dendrites of the neuron. The differential diagnosis includes lymphoepithelioma, malignant fibrous histiocytoma, malignant melanoma, anaplastic large cell lymphoma, and thymoma.…”

An 80-year-old woman presented with a painless palpable neck mass for 2 months. She had no significant past medical history other than hypertension. Neck computed tomography revealed a 2.8 cm-sized enhancing, well-defined, oval, soft tissue mass in the left posterior cervical space. Fine needle aspiration cytology was performed and yielded a diagnosis suggesting the possibility of metastatic carcinoma, sarcoma or lymphoreticular malignancy. The entire mass was surgically excised for confirmative diagnosis and treatment. Positron emission tomography failed to reveal any other lesion throughout the whole body.

“…8 The other four reports of intraabdominal FDC sarcomas are not specified as inflammatory pseudotumor-like variant. [9][10][11][12] To the best of our knowledge, this is the first cytological report of a primary splenic inflammatory pseudotumor-like FDC sarcoma.…”

Here, we present the first cytological report of a primary splenic inflammatory pseudotumor-like follicular dendritic cell sarcoma. The 57 year-old male was incidentally found with a 2.2 cm well-demarcated splenic nodule. A sonography guided fine needle aspiration of the lesion was performed. The cytologic smears revealed loosely cohesive fragments of oval to spindle cells in a background of prominent lymphoplasmacytic infiltration. The cells showed sparse chromatin, distinct nucleoli, syncytial cell borders, and occasional cytoplasmic processes. On the liquid-based preparation, several histiocyte-like cells with emperipolesis phenomenon were noted. Scant large atypical cells with prominent, cherry-red nucleoli were found on the cell block sections. The initial cytologic interpretation was "atypical cells cannot exclude classical Hodgkin lymphoma." The subsequent partial splenectomy showed an inflammatory pseudotumor-like follicular dendritic cell sarcoma. The tumor cells were positive for CD21, CD35, smooth muscle actin, and EBER in situ hybridization. The cytologic differential diagnoses are briefly discussed. The knowledge of this rare entity, awareness of its cytomorphology, and proper ancillary tests would be helpful for correct cytologic diagnosis. Diagn.
