Follicular Dendritic Cell Sarcoma

Definition

Follicular dendritic cell sarcoma (FDCS) is a rare and typically slow-growing malignant tumor that usually develops in the lymph nodes of the neck. Less commonly, FDCS can occur in other lymph nodes, or in areas such as the mediastinum and abdominal cavity. The condition may present with a painless mass in the lymph nodes or soft tissue.
