Dendritic cells, essential in the immune response by presenting antigens to T and B lymphocytes, can develop extremely rare neoplasms, representing less than 1% of lymph node-originating tumors. We present a case of interdigitating dendritic cell sarcoma that, treated with chemotherapy, showed favorable progression and a good prognosis. Due to the rarity of this disease, it is crucial to consider it in differential diagnoses, as patient survival depends on the stage at which it is detected.
