Abstract

Follicular dendritic cell sarcoma (FDCS) is a rare lymphoid neoplasm which occurs mainly in lymph nodes, especially cervical and mediastinal; it can be difficult to diagnose and often is misdiagnosed. Its pathogenesis is still not clear, like its evolution. We report a case of 60-year-old woman with FDCS of left lateral cervical node followed for almost 10 years, after a left selective neck dissection, who underwent five 18F-FDG PET/CT. This technique has proven to be an useful method for the management of this patient, mainly for the follow up, detection of relapse and therapy response evaluation.

Resumen

El sarcoma de células dendríticas foliculares (FDCS) es una rara neoplasia linfoide que se produce principalmente en los ganglios linfáticos, en especial los cervicales y mediastínicos; puede resultar difícil de diagnosticar, y su diagnóstico es a menudo erróneo. Su patogénesis no está aún clara, al igual que su evolución. Reportamos el caso de una mujer de 60 años con FDCS en un ganglio cervical lateral izquierdo a la que se realizó un seguimiento durante casi 10 años, tras una disección ganglionar selectiva laterocervical izquierda, y que fue sometida a cinco estudios 18F-FDG PET/TC. Esta técnica ha demostrado ser un método útil para el manejo de esta paciente, principalmente en lo relativo al seguimiento, detección de la recidiva, y evaluación de la respuesta a la terapia.
