oa Follicular Dendritic Cell Sarcoma: Cytogenetics And Pathological Findings

Follicular Dendritic Cell Sarcoma: Cytogenetics and Pathological Findings Abstract Follicular Dendritic Cell Sarcoma (FDCS) is a rare neoplasm with a non-specific and insidious presentation that is further complicated by difficult diagnostic and therapeutic assessment. It has a low to intermediate risk of recurrence or metastasis. Unlike other soft tissue sarcomas, cytogenetic studies are very limited in FDCS. Although no specific chromosomal marker is established yet, complex aberrations, different ploidy types are documented. We present a case with ultra-structural, immunophenotypical and histological features. The karyotypic findings were different from those reported in literature.
