Follicular dendritic cell sarcoma of the nasopharynx.
Follicular dendritic cell (FDC) sarcoma is an extremely rare malignant neoplasm that can develop in the head and neck in both lymph nodes and extranodal sites. Only 4 cases of FDC tumor of the nasopharynx have been published before. Because of its rarity, FDC sarcoma is not easily recognized by clinicians or pathologists. We present the case of a FDC tumor of the nasopharynx in a 36-year-old woman.
