Abstract Follicular dendritic cell sarcoma of the liver is an uncommon pathologic entity, and only 5 cases have been reported previously. Herein, we report the first case, to our knowledge, of hepatic follicular dendritic cell sarcoma without evidence of Epstein-Barr virus infection. The patient is an elderly man who was found to have an incidental liver mass and then developed weight loss and fever. The diagnosis was based on the typical morphologic appearance of spindle cell proliferation associated with a brisk lymphoplasmacytic infiltrate and strong immunoreactivity to CD21 and CD35. Based on our experience and a review of the published reports, we summarize the clinical and pathologic features of hepatic follicular dendritic cell sarcoma and its surgical management.

Splenic inflammatory pseudotumor (IPT) is an uncommon lesion with an inflammatory morphologic aspect that often poses a diagnostic challenge. The etiology of IPT can be infectious, autoimmune, reactive, or neoplastic. Splenic Epstein-Barr virus (EBV)–associated IPTs form a subset of splenic IPTs in which there is a spindle cell component infected by EBV. The best characterized and most frequent subgroup of splenic EBV-associated IPT is IPT-like follicular dendritic cell tumor. This review also focusses on EBV-associated splenic IPTs without follicular dendritic cell marker expression. These lesions are less well characterized, making the differential diagnosis with other splenic lesions even more difficult. Recently, increased numbers of immunoglobulin G4–positive plasma cells and the presence of numerous granulomas have been reported in EBV-associated IPTs, and this can add to the difficulties in recognizing the neoplastic nature of these lesions. Herein, we also review the epidemiology, clinical features, histologic morphology, immunohistochemistry, electron microscopy, and pathogenesis of EBV-associated IPTs.
