| Abstract |
Follicular dendritic cells are non-phagocytic, non-lymphoid cells of the immune system that are necessary for antigen presentation and the regulation of reactions in the germinal centers of the lymph nodes. Follicular dendritic cell sarcoma is an unusual cancer, particularly in the intra-abdominal region. In the present report we describe an unusual case of retroperitoneal follicular dendritic cell sarcoma that emphasizes the difficulty of diagnosing and treating this tumor. Retroperitoneal follicular dendritic cell sarcoma has only been rarely reported in the literature to date. |

Attention Score in Context
This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 1. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 10 April 2014.
All research outputs
#15,299,491
of 22,753,345 outputs
Outputs from Journal of Medical Case Reports
#1,502
of 3,901 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#132,632
of 225,522 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Journal of Medical Case Reports
#18
of 41 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 22,753,345 research outputs across all sources so far. This one is in the 22nd percentile – i.e., 22% of other outputs scored the same or lower than it.
So far Altmetric has tracked 3,901 research outputs from this source. They receive a mean Attention Score of 3.9. This one has gotten more attention than average, scoring higher than 51% of its peers.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 225,522 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one is in the 31st percentile – i.e., 31% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
We're also able to compare this research output to 41 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one is in the 31st percentile – i.e., 31% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
