This study aimed to reveal the radiological characteristics of IPT-like FDCS by radiologic-pathologic correlation.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>We analyzed two cases of IPT-like FDCS in the liver, nine in the spleen, and two in both the liver and spleen concomitantly. IPT-like FDCS presented as well-defined iso- or hypodense masses on unenhanced computed tomography (CT) images in both the liver and spleen. Hyperintensities on T1-weighted images and hypointensities on T2-weighted images with hypointense rings were characteristic features in splenic cases. \u201cHalo signs\u201d were observed in two out of three liver tumors. Hepatic lesions showed significant enhancement, whereas splenic lesions showed only mild enhancement. Delayed annular enhancement was observed in both liver and spleen cases. On ultrasonographic examination, IPT-like FDCS presented as hypoechoic lesions with enhancement similar to that observed on CT. Hyaline fibrous pseudocapsules, which correlated with the hypointensities on T2-weighted images, were microscopically observed at the tumor edge. IPT-like FDCS was characterized by an abundance of small blood vessels and capillaries. Capillaries were also found in the fibrous capsule of some IPT-like FDCSs, which may explain the delayed annular enhancement.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>The manifestations of IPT-like FDCS in the liver and spleen showed differences that warrant them to be approached differently during diagnosis. Characteristic radiological findings of IPT-like FDCS included different enhancement patterns between liver and spleen tumors and rim-like hypointensities on T2-weighted images, as well as annular enhancement on CT and magnetic resonance images. These imaging features correlated with tumor pathology.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1186\/s12880-021-00584-6","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2021,3,17]],"date-time":"2021-03-17T10:02:46Z","timestamp":1615975366000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1007\/springer_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":15,"title":["Imaging features and radiologic-pathologic correlations of inflammatory pseudotumor-like follicular dendritic cell sarcoma"],"prefix":"10.1186","volume":"21","author":[{"given":"Lingbin","family":"Xu","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Rong","family":"Ge","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Shanshan","family":"Gao","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"297","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2021,3,17]]},"reference":[{"key":"584_CR1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"W554","DOI":"10.2214\/AJR.04.1530","volume":"188","author":"JA Leipsic","year":"2007","unstructured":"Leipsic JA, McAdams HP, Sporn TA.
