Follicular dendritic cell tumor of mesentery--a case report

Follicular dendritic cell sarcoma also known as dendritic reticulum cell tumor is uncommon. It can arise in lymph nodes and extra nodal sites namely tonsils and intra abdominal locations. The tumor morphologically mimicks soft tissue sarcomas and hence requires immunohistochemical study for correct diagnosis. It pursues an indolent protracted course with recurrence and still be compatible with long survival. We report a case of follicular dendritic cell tumor of mesentery.
