Diagnostic challenges in primary pulmonary follicular dendritic cell sarcoma: 2 case reports
FDCS has a unique histological morphology and immunophenotype for FDCS. It is rare for FDCS to occur in the lungs. However, owing to the lack of experience among doctors and the limitations of small biopsy specimens, FDCS can easily be misdiagnosed as lung cancer. When tumour cells exhibit the above histological features, additional immunostaining for FDC markers should be performed. The Clinical Trial Number is ChiCTR2400090730 and Reg Date is October 12, 2024.
