ABSTRACT

We present the literature data and the authors’ observation of interdigitating dendritic cell sarcoma (IDCS), a very rare tumor consisting of histiocytic and dendritic cells. Due to variability in clinical presentation with nodal and/or extranodal involvement and immunomorphological characteristics of this sarcoma, differential diagnosis with non-Hodgkin’s lymphomas, melanoma, follicular dendritic cell sarcoma, and Langerhans cell histiocytosis is necessary. Here, we describe a clinical case of IDCS with cervical lymph node involvement and successful treatment with a CHOP program and subsequent irradiation. No generally accepted treatment strategy exists so far. Currently used methods include surgery, irradiation, and chemotherapy, but treatment outcomes need to be optimized.


Keywords: Interdigitating dendritic cell sarcoma, diagnosis, treatment.
