18F-FDG PET/CT in Extensive Follicular Dendritic Cell Sarcoma With Response Assessment to Chemotherapy

Abstract Follicular dendritic cell sarcoma (FDCS) is a low-grade sarcoma of mesenchymal dendritic cell origin, and it constitutes <0.4% of soft tissue sarcomas. We report a rare case of FDCS in a 32-year-old man. 18 F-FDG PET/CT demonstrated the involvement of cervical, axillary, mediastinal, abdominal, and pelvic groups of lymph nodes and spleen. A cervical lymph node biopsy suggested FDCS. 18 F-FDG PET/CT scan done after 3 cycles of chemotherapy (CHOP regime) revealed a complete metabolic response. This case presents the rarity of extensive presentation and complete response to the CHOP regime.
