FDCS is a rare entity, especially those located in the intraperitoneal cavity. The diagnosis must be kept in mind when confronted with uncommon histological features in lymphoid tissue. A complete metabolic response after six courses of CHOP was achieved in a patient with FDCS.

Even though complete excision is currently known to be the best way to treat early stage FDCS, our case confirms other reports’ suggestion that ‘lymphoma-like’ chemotherapy could be a good option in patients with advanced unresectable disease.
