ABSTRACT: To investigate the clinical manifestation, imaging features, pathological characteristics, and diagnosis of hepatic follicular dentritic cell sarcoma, a case report combined with literature review was introduced. A large single mass in liver was showed in CT scan. Enhanced CT showed obvious uneven change of liver neoplasm during the arterial phase and the portal vein phase with tortuous disorganized blood vessels. Immumohistochemical staining of CD21, CD23 and EBER was positive. HFDCS is extremely rare. Except for pathologicaldiagnosis by liver biopsy, its preoperative diagnosis rate is extremely low. Its diagnosis is based on the histopathology and immumohistochemistry. HFDCS was first reported by Shek in 1996, and often occurred in women aged 19 - 82 years (with an average age of 46.7 years). Its main clinical manifestations were abdominal pain, abdominal distention, weight loss, anemia, fever, etc. Some patients were asymptomatic.
