Case report on follicular dendritic cell sarcoma: a rare malignant neoplasm of lymph node
نویسندگان
چکیده
Follicular dendritic cells (FDC) are non-lymphoid, non-phagocytic, accessory immune cells, crucial for antigen presentation and regulation of the reactions in germinal centers. Sarcoma arising from FDC is very rare it has low-to-intermediate malignant potential. Histopathological examination play a critical role diagnosis disease but difficult cases immunohistochemistry great facilitates misinterpretation. Diagnosis cell sarcoma (DCS) challenge histopathologists, because its incidence lack familiarity histopathologists to see slides. Here case FDCS patient presented with left submandibular swelling.
