Abstrakt: Epstein–Barr virus positive inflammatory pseudotumor follicular dendritic cell sarcoma (EBV+ FDCS) is a rare indolent neoplasm that presents primarily in the spleen and liver. We display a case of EBV+ FDCS in the spleen, its clinic-pathologic properties, and treatment. Our patient was evaluated following an incidental finding of a splenic mass on imaging after a traumatic injury. Computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging both confirmed a well-circumscribed lesion in the spleen. Consequently, the patient underwent a robotic-assisted diagnostic splenectomy. Histologic examination revealed portions of spleen with partial effacement of tissue architecture by a well-circumscribed nonencapsulated mass displaying atypical, spindled cells—positive for EBER (CISH), EBV LMP1, smooth muscle actin, and clusterin—mixed inflammatory elements, and interspersed small lymphocytes.
