ABSTRACT

Folicular dendritic cell neoplasms are lymphoid neoplasm extremely rare. They mainly affect cervical, axilary and supraclavicular nodes. They are usually wrongly diagnosed as non Hodgkin lymphoma. Definitive diagnosis requires confirmation by inmunohistochemistry. There are no firmly recommendations regarding treatment, surgical resection remain the mainstay of treatment. Although the majority of patients initially responded to treatment, 81% relapsed. Using of new biological therapies depends on particular tumor biology, which may proportionate new strategies for treatment.
