Thyroid follicular dendritic cell sarcoma (FDCS) is an extremely rare malignancy that originates from follicular dendritic cells of the germinal centers and is characterized by the neoplastic proliferation of spindled to ovoid cells. As there have been only five cases reported in the literature until now, the diagnostic and therapeutic information available to clinicians regarding thyroid FDCS is fairly limited. To our knowledge, this is the first case report of thyroid FDCS without a history of Hashimoto’s thyroiditis. A 48-year-old woman was found to have a slow-growing mass in the left thyroid. After total thyroidectomy and left modified radical neck dissection, the specimen demonstrated morphologic and immunohistochemical features of FDCS. The patient had a favorable prognosis with no evidence of disease 11 months after tumor excision.
