# Robotic Resection of Parapharyngeal Follicular Dendritic Cell Sarcoma With Castleman Disease

## TL;DR

This paper presents a case where robotic surgery was used to successfully remove a rare tumor in the throat area linked to Castleman disease.

## Contribution

The novelty lies in demonstrating the effectiveness of transoral robotic surgery for resecting a rare FDCS associated with Castleman disease.

## Key findings

- Transoral robotic resection successfully achieved tissue diagnosis and definitive treatment.
- The robotic approach proved effective for managing a rare tumor in a challenging anatomical location.
- The case highlights the potential of robotic surgery in treating complex head and neck tumors.

## Abstract

Parapharyngeal follicular dendritic cell sarcoma (FDCS) is rare and may occur with Castleman disease. We describe the successful transoral robotic resection of a parapharyngeal FDCS associated with Castleman disease, highlighting the role of the robotic approach in achieving tissue diagnosis and definitive treatment.
