Abstract:
Extranodal follicular dendritic cell sarcoma (FDCS) is a very rare tumour, only reported in case reports and case series. It poses diagnostic and management challenge both to the clinician and pathologist. We present such a rare case of duodenal FDCS in a 56-year-old woman who was recently managed in our institution. Repeated pre surgical biopsies were non-diagnostic and the final diagnosis was made only after surgical excision of the tumour and with the help of histopathological and immunohistochemical studies. The patient had a complete en block resection of the tumour and was discharged home well 5 days postsurgery. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first case of FDCS reported arising from the duodenum.
