Retroperitoneal Follicular Dendritic Cell Sarcoma: A Case Report

Year: 2019

Type: article

Abstract: Follicular dendritic cell sarcoma (FDCS) comprises 0.4% of soft tissue sarcomas.1 It most commonly relapses in the lungs and liver.2 In 1986, it was first described in a series of 4 case reports where management with wide local excisions and chemotherapy showed varying success.3 There have been limited studies on outcomes. A retrospective study of 31 patients with FDCS did not show significant differences in 5-year overall survival (OS) for patients who received adjuvant radiation or neoadjuvant chemotherapy compared with surgery alone (P = .58).
