ABSTRACT: Follicular dendritic cell sarcomas (FDC-Sarcoma) are a
rare type of tumor. Although most cases (60%) originate in the cervical, abdominal, or
axillary lymph nodes, extranodal origin from secondary lymphatic tissue such as
the tonsils, Waldeyer’s ring, or MALT is also prevalent (40%). We report
a case of cervical FDCS in a 51-year-old female who developed invasive breast
cancer during follow-up. We review the presentation and management of this
disorder, emphasizing the differential diagnosis. The
patient was continuously monitored and has been free of recurrences for ten years.
For FDC Sarcoma of the head and neck, this case suggests surgical resection
combined with chemotherapy and radiotherapy as a therapeutic option.
