Although most cases (60%) originate in the cervical, abdominal, or axillary lymph nodes, extranodal origin from secondary lymphatic tissue such as the tonsils, Waldeyer’s ring, or MALT is also prevalent (40%). We report a case of cervical FDCS in a 51-year-old female who developed invasive breast cancer during follow-up. We review the presentation and management of this disorder, emphasizing the differential diagnosis. The patient was continuously monitored and has been free of recurrences for ten years. For FDC Sarcoma of the head and neck, this case suggests surgical resection combined with chemotherapy and radiotherapy as a therapeutic option.展开更多
