Inflammatory pseudotumour-like follicular/fibroblastic dendritic cell sarcoma (IPT-like FDCS) is a rare EBV-associated variant of follicular dendritic cell sarcoma, usually arising in the liver or spleen and characterized by a favourable prognosis. The neoplastic cells show variable follicular dendritic cell or fibroblastic reticular cell differentiation and their immunoprofile is still poorly characterized. We describe a case of splenic IPT-like FDCS with unexpected CD31 expression and provide a concise review of English literature on the topic.

Abstract
Inflammatory pseudotumour-like follicular/fibroblastic dendritic cell sarcoma (IPT-like FDCS) is a rare EBV-associated variant of follicular dendritic cell sarcoma, usually arising in the liver or spleen and characterized by a favourable prognosis. The neoplastic cells show variable follicular dendritic cell or fibroblastic reticular cell differentiation and their immunoprofile is still poorly characterized. We describe a case of splenic IPT-like FDCS with unexpected CD31 expression and provide a concise review of English literature on the topic.File in questo prodotto:
