Aggressive Indeterminate Dendritic Cell Tumor Mimicking Scalp Angiosarcoma.

Aggressive Indeterminate Dendritic Cell Tumor Mimicking Scalp Angiosarcoma. Ann Dermatol. 2017 Oct;29(5):614-617 Authors: Li Y, Wang TT, Zhang ZH, Wang L Abstract Indeterminate dendritic cell tumor (IDCT) is a proliferation of CD1a+, S100+ and langerin- histiocytes with a generally benign course. Here, we describe a case of a 90-year-old male who developed skin lesions on his scalp mimicking angiosarcoma and lymphadenopathy. He died six months after the onset of skin lesions despite of months' radiotherapy. Pathological examination ruled out scalp angiosarcoma and showed a high Ki-67 index. The appearance of skin lesions and lymphadenopathy led to challenges in diagnosis and the development of a treatment plan. PMID: 28966519 [PubMed]
