Abstract
Sarcoma is a rare type of cancer that arises from connective tissue. Interdigitating dendritic cell sarcoma (IDCS) is a rare neoplasm of dendritic cell origin. IDCS arises from interdigitating dendritic cells found in the T-cell regions of secondary lymphoid tissues. Due to the rare nature of IDCS diagnosis, management can be difficult. Often, the diagnosis is delayed due to a lack of symptoms and signs. Here, we describe a case of a 34-year-old female patient who presented with an incidental finding of a left sidewall pelvic mass later to be confirmed on biopsy as an IDCS.
