Histiocytic Sarcoma of the Small Intestine: A case report with review of the literature

Keun Joo Ryu, Kyu Sang Song

Abstract :

Histiocytic sarcoma is very rare malignant neoplasm showing morphological and immunophenotypic characteristics of histiocyte. Morphologic diagnosis is challenging due to overlapping histologic features with diverse mimics. Histologic diagnosis is confirmed by expression of one or more histiocytic markers, including CD163, CD68, and lysozyme. We present a bona fida case of extranodal histiocytic sarcoma involving the small intestine in a 67–year–old male. The diagnosis is confirmed by diffuse immunoreactivity of CD163, which is believed to be more specific histiocytic marker than CD68.
