title: [Cervical follicular dendritic-cell sarcoma].
abstract: Follicular dendritic-cell sarcoma is a rare neoplasm occurring mostly in the head and neck region. Originating in reticular dendritic cells, it is classified as nodal or extra-nodal depending on the organ affected. The clinical behaviour, pathology diagnosis, treatment, and evolution are not well known. We present the case of a patient with a cervical tumour of lymphatic origin that was diagnosed as follicular dendritic-cell sarcoma. We analyze diagnosis and treatment, and discuss the reviews of published cases.
