| Abstract |
Follicular dendritic cell sarcoma (FDCS) is a rare malignant neoplasm, postulated to arise from follicular dendritic cells, with approximately 343 reported cases. Less than 100 cases of FDCS were in the gastrointestinal tract, with only four cases described in the stomach, none of them diagnosed on fine needle aspiration (FNA) cytology. We report here the first case of FDCS of the stomach diagnosed on FNA. Our patient is a 31-year-old male who presented with several years history of intermittent abdominal pain prompting occasional emergency-room visits. Imaging showed a 10.6 cm mass arising from the stomach, concerning for gastrointestinal stromal tumor. FNA cytology was performed using five passes with a 22-gauge needle. The smears were moderately cellular consisting of sheets and large, loosely cohesive clusters of ovoid to spindle cells with indistinct cytoplasmic borders and abundant cytoplasm, peppered with numerous small mature lymphocytes. The nuclei of the tumor cells were oval with finely granular chromatin with frequent nuclear grooves, pseudoinclusions, and easily recognizable mitotic figures. The tumor cells were positive for FDCS markers (CD21, CD23, and CD35). |

Attention Score in Context
This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 6. 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 09 April 2023.
All research outputs
#6,386,826
of 25,663,438 outputs
Outputs from Diagnostic Cytopathology
#228
of 1,447 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#110,220
of 423,910 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Diagnostic Cytopathology
#9
of 16 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 25,663,438 research outputs across all sources so far. Compared to these this one has done well and is in the 75th percentile: it's in the top 25% of all research outputs ever tracked by Altmetric.
So far Altmetric has tracked 1,447 research outputs from this source. They receive a mean Attention Score of 3.4. This one has done well, scoring higher than 84% 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 423,910 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one has gotten more attention than average, scoring higher than 73% of its contemporaries.
We're also able to compare this research output to 16 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one is in the 43rd percentile – i.e., 43% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
