Intra‐abdominal follicular dendritic cell tumour: a rare tumour in need of recognition

Abstract

Awareness of the entity and the ability to recognize this tumour by histopathologists are emphasized because the tumour closely mimics a wide variety of other tumours and tumour-like lesions. Similar to the other reported FDC tumours of the liver, our case of hepatic follicular dendritic cell tumour is also positive for Epstein-Barr virus, suggesting that the virus may play a role in its pathogenesis.
