Intra-abdominal follicular dendritic cell sarcoma.
Follicular dendritic cell (FDC) sarcoma is a very rare condition. We report here an intra-abdominal FDC sarcoma occurring as a mass, dependent on the celiac and left gastric lymph chains, that was completely excised. Eighteen months after surgery a recurrence at the liver pedicle was detected by a CT-scan and fully resected; in order to prevent another disease relapse postoperative radiotherapy was given.
