Follicular dendritic cell sarcoma is a rare tumor that occurs mainly in lymph nodes. We report a case of follicular dendritic cell sarcoma in a cervical lymph node that was initially diagnosed as a B-cell lymphoma by Tru-Cut biopsy. The correct diagnosis was established by excision biopsy and immunohistochemistry. This tumor is of interest to head and neck surgeons because its recurrence rate is significant and its metastatic potential has been underestimated because of its rarity and the difficulty in making the diagnosis. We discuss the salient clinical and pathologic features of this tumor, as well as its management protocol, and we review the literature.
滤泡树突状细胞肉瘤是一种罕见的肿瘤，主要发生于淋巴结。我们报告1例发生于颈部淋巴结的滤泡树突状细胞肉瘤，该病例最初经粗针活检诊断为B细胞淋巴瘤。经切除活检及免疫组化得以确立正确诊断。该肿瘤引起头颈外科医生的关注，因为其复发率高，且由于其罕见性及诊断困难，其转移潜能一直被低估。我们讨论了该肿瘤显著的临床和病理特征及其治疗方案，并复习了相关文献。
