Inflammatory pseudotumor-like follicular dendritic cell tumor of the spleen: a case report and approach to differential diagnosis. Radiology case reports Nguyen, A., Negrete, L. M., Bulterys, P. L., Shen, L. 2021; 16 (11): 3213-3216

Abstract

We present a case of an inflammatory pseudotumor-like follicular dendritic cell tumor of the spleen. The patient is a 44-year-old woman, without significant underlying history, who presented with nonspecific abdominal pain for a few months. Both a contrast enhanced computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging revealed a new 2.5 cm enhancing splenic lesion, which demonstrated hypermetabolic activity on subsequent positron emission tomography and computed tomography scan. Since the lesion was new compared to more remote imaging and hypermetabolic, a splenectomy was performed. Pathology confirmed the diagnosis and demonstrated positivity for Epstein-Barr Virus .
