Case Report
fiogf49gjkf0d
Male of 49 years that was hospitalized on Medical Clinic Service, showing multiple adenopathy of 1 month of evolution, pain, fever and protracted sweats in the last 3 weeks. The patient lost 10 kg of weight in the last two months.
Poliadenophaty in right preauricular localization of 1cm., left retroauricular side of 3x4cm., left submaxillary side of 6x5cm., submentonian of 2 cm., supraclavicular of 5x3cm., in right axilar region of 5x8 cm., in left axilar region of 5x7cm. and below of left crural arcade of 5x6cm. All lymph nodes presented smooth surface, hard-elastic consistency, adhered to deep planes, and painful to the palpation.
Laboratory
Hemogram – Hto 28% Hb 10.
Hepatogram – Bilirrubine (normal), Alkaline Phospatase 728 (nv:<270u/l),GOT-GPT (normal), LDH 782 (nv:207 – 414 u/l). The other laboratory findings were normal.
Chest and abdominal T.A.C.
Lobulated hiliar pulmonary right mass. Extensive ganglionar involvement, mediastinal infracarinal and retrocava. Liver without abnormalities.
Neck T.A.C.
Submaxillary left Adenomegaly, adenopathy conglomerate in left jugulo-carotid chain.

DIAGNOSIS
fiogf49gjkf0d Dendritic Cell Sarcoma NOS

Pathology
fiogf49gjkf0d MAIN PATHOLOGIC FINDINGS:
Microscopically, the normal architecture was effaced with diffuse proliferation of large pleomorphic cells arranged in a difusse pattern and rarely and scanty spindle cells with light fascicular distribution. The neoplastic cells had smooth nuclear membranes with round-ovoid to irregularly indented form and small central eosinophilic nucleoli. These cells had moderated to abundant citoplasm, some of theme with slender citoplasmic extensions. Eventually multinucleated cells where found. A constant feature was the presence of variable number of small lymphocites and some plasma cells scattered throughout the tumor. The exceptionally nontumorous area was characterized by reactive germinal center of cortical follicle. Erythrophagocytosis was eventually observed. The mitotic rate was high (30 mitotic figures per 10 high-power fields).
Immunohistochemical studies showed that all of the tumor cells were positive for vimentin, and focal positive for EMA; but uniformly negative for CD45, B and T-cell markers, ALK1, CD30, CD68, Lysozyme, S-100 protein, CD1a, CD21, CD35, Alfa-SMA, Melan-A and AE1-AE3 (CTK Cocktail). In the based on these findings, and the clinic manifestation, the present case was diagnosed as Dendritic Cell Sarcoma not otherwise specified.
