Follicular dendritic cell sarcoma (FDCS) most commonly involves lymph nodes but also affects extranodal sites like liver, spleen, pancreas less commonly. It is a low to intermediate grade malignancy. Unusual presentation, morphology or immunophenotyping makes the diagnosis of FDCS very challenging. Immunohistochemistry plays a major role in confirming the diagnosis of FDCS. A 40 year male presented with dull abdominal pain. Ultrasonography revealed two hypoechoiec lesions in liver. Cytomorphology, later histological and immunohistochemistry (IHC) diagnosis of FDCS was established. Patient was put on chemotherapy.

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.
