RMRongrong MengXWXuefen WangZSZhengzheng Shi

Key Points

  • This report aims to present an exceptionally rare case of EBV-positive inflammatory follicular dendritic cell sarcoma in the testes.
  • Case report of a unique instance of EBV-positive iFDCS occurring in a previously unreported site.
  • Detailed morphological and diagnostic assessment of the tumor.
  • Diagnosis of EBV-positive iFDCS was confirmed following detailed pathological evaluation.
  • This case adds to the limited literature on EBV-positive iFDCS in uncommon locations like the testes.

Abstract

Follicular dendritic cell sarcoma (FDCS) is an exceedingly rare low-grade malignant tumor originating from follicular dendritic cells. It is classified into two subtypes: the classic type and the EBV-positive inflammatory follicular dendritic cell sarcoma (EBV+ iFDCS). While EBV+ iFDCS predominantly arises in abdominal organs such as the liver and spleen, its morphological spectrum is broad, rendering diagnosis challenging. Here, we report an exceptionally rare case of EBV+ iFDCS occurring in the testes, a site previously unreported in the literature.
