Abstract

Background: In this report, the clinical and the histopathological findings of histiocytic sarcoma manifesting as an intestinal mass with coeliac disease are presented.
Case Report: Histiocytic sarcoma is the malignant proliferation of cells showing morphological and immunophenotypical features of mature tissue histiocytes. The histiocytic sarcoma is usually an aggressive neoplasm, with a poor response to therapy.
Conclusion: People with coeliac disease (CD) are known to be at increased risk of malignancy but its relation with histiocytic sarcoma is unpublished.

Keywords
