Descriptor English: Histiocytic Sarcoma
Descriptor Spanish: Sarcoma Histiocítico
Descriptor sarcoma histiocítico
Entry term(s) histiocitosis maligna
Scope note: Tumor maligno constituido por MACRÓFAGOS o CÉLULAS DENDRÍTICAS. La mayoría de los sarcomas histiocíticos se presentan como masas localizadas, sin fase leucémica. Aunque el comportamiento biológico de estas neoplasias es similar al de los linfomas, su linaje es histiocítico, no linfoide.

Scope note: Malignant neoplasms composed of MACROPHAGES or DENDRITIC CELLS. Most histiocytic sarcomas present as localized tumor masses without a leukemic phase. Though the biological behavior of these neoplasms resemble lymphomas, their cell lineage is histiocytic not lymphoid.
