Title: Spontaneous regression of interdigitating dendritic sarcoma in a patient with concurrent small lymphocytic lymphoma. Author: Khashab T, Sehgal L, Medeiros LJ, Samaniego F. Journal: BMJ Case Rep; 2015 Jun 12; 2015():. PubMed ID: 26071439. Abstract: Interdigitating dendritic cell sarcoma (IDCS) is a rare tumour; only seven cases of IDCS associated with chronic lymphocytic leucaemia/small lymphocytic lymphoma (CLL/SLL) have been reported. We present the case of a 60-year-old man who presented with fevers, night sweats and significant unintentional weight loss. Investigations led to a diagnosis of synchronous SLL and IDCS. Subsequent fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG) positron emission tomography CT (PET-CT) imaging revealed an unusual clinical course with spontaneously resolving highly metabolic lesions. After 42 months of follow-up, the patient remains free of clinical symptoms and evidence of IDCS.[Abstract] [Full Text] [Related] [New Search]
