Abstract
Follicular dendritic cell sarcoma (FDCS), an infrequent malignancy, poses diagnostic challenges due to its nonspecific clinical presentations and propensity for recurrence and metastasis, particularly when assessed through imaging modalities. Accurate diagnosis relies heavily on pathological morphology and immunohistochemical analysis. This study examines two FDCS cases from the Affiliated Hospital of Zunyi Medical University. Next-generation sequencing (NGS) identified three gene rearrangements-HFM1::BIRC3, ELF4::AIFM1, and DIP2B::WIF1 -in one case, while no genetic alterations were detected in the other. The report explores clinicopathological characteristics, molecular genetics, differential diagnosis, therapeutic approaches, and prognosis to enhance diagnostic and pathological understanding of FDCS in medical practice.
期刊介绍:
Diagnostic Pathology is an open access, peer-reviewed, online journal that considers research in surgical and clinical pathology, immunology, and biology, with a special focus on cutting-edge approaches in diagnostic pathology and tissue-based therapy. The journal covers all aspects of surgical pathology, including classic diagnostic pathology, prognosis-related diagnosis (tumor stages, prognosis markers, such as MIB-percentage, hormone receptors, etc.), and therapy-related findings. The journal also focuses on the technological aspects of pathology, including molecular biology techniques, morphometry aspects (stereology, DNA analysis, syntactic structure analysis), communication aspects (telecommunication, virtual microscopy, virtual pathology institutions, etc.), and electronic education and quality assurance (for example interactive publication, on-line references with automated updating, etc.).
