An aggressive Epstein–Barr virus (EBV)-associated inflammatory pseudotumor-like follicular dendritic cell (IPT-like FDC) sarcoma is reported in an adult female. The patient developed multifocal recurrence and passed away 13 months after the initial surgical resection. A bright field microscopic examination of the tumor demonstrated a classical growth pattern and the diffuse expression of Programmed death ligand 1 (PD-L1) and somatostatin receptor 2a (SSTR2a).
