TI  - Follicular dendritic cell sarcoma of inguinal lymph node--a case report.
PG  - 115-9
AB  - Follicular dendritic cell sarcomas (FDCS) are rare neoplasms that involve lymph 
      nodes or extranodal sites. They show varied histological features and thus can be 
      mistaken for carcinoma or sarcoma. Correct identification is important for 
      further management. A 43-year-old Indian female presented with a three-month 
      history of progressive swelling at the right inguinal region. It was excised 
      completely and was reported as lymph node with metastatic poorly differentiated 
      carcinoma based on Haematoxylin and eosin (H&E) stain findings. Computerized 
      tomography (CT) scans of thorax, abdomen and pelvis were normal and did not 
      reveal a primary site. Following this, the case was referred to one of the 
      authors. The slides were reviewed and a variety of immunocytochemical markers 
      were done. The tumour cells were negative for epithelial, melanocytic, neural, 
      leucocyte and soft tissue tumour markers. They were immunopositive for CD21, CD35 
      and negative for CD68. Based on the immunocytochemical findings, a final 
      diagnosis of FDCS was made. This case highlights the histological and 
      immunophenotypical profile of a rare tumour which requires a high index of 
      suspicion for diagnosis.
