✦ Synopsis

Background. Follicular dendritic cell sarcoma (FDCS) arises from nonlymphatic antigen-presenting cells found in lymph node B-cell follicles. This extremely rare tumor, which usually arises in lymph nodes, does occur in extranodal head and neck sites such as the tonsil and soft palate.

Methods. A retrospective review of the patient followed at the University of Pittsburgh Medical Center from 1993 to the present was performed.

Conclusions. This is the first reported case of an FDCS of the thyroid. A review of the literature provides useful information to aid in detection, treatment, and outcome of this unusual soft tissue malignancy.

## Abstract Follicular dendritic cell sarcomas (FDCS) are grouped with the histiocytic and dendritic cell neoplasms. The natural history and response to different treatments have not been well established. The cases of 14 patients with FDCS who were seen at M. D. Anderson between 1995 and 2005 were

## Background: The routine use of immunocytochemical analysis has led to the recognition that many thyroid neoplasms previously diagnosed as anaplastic or small cell carcinomas are actually lymphomas of the thyroid. the great majority are b-cell lymphomas which can be associated with hashimoto's th
