RESUMO
A 70 year-old woman was admitted to our hospital with a 3-month history of abdominal pain, weight loss and night sweats. On physical examination, she presented with a 5 cm diameter abdominal mass extended from epigastrium to the left flank, and at least three bilateral supraclavicular adenopathies. A disseminated interdigitating dendritic cell sarcoma was diagnosed through a biopsy of the abdominal mass. After that, a CHOP regime (cyclophosphamide, doxorubicin, vincristine and prednisone) was iniciated. She died after completion of the first cycle of treatment, six months after diagnosis.

Se realizó una biopsia de la masa abdominal, con lo que se diagnosticó un sarcoma de células dendríticas interdigitantes. Se inició quimioterapia con el esquema CHOP (ciclofosfamida, doxorrubicina, vincristina y prednisona). Falleció luego de completado el primer ciclo del tratamiento, a los seis meses del diagnóstico.
