Rosai–Dorfman disease (RDD) is usually characterized by painless bilateral cervical lymphadenopathy associated with fever and leukocytosis. Although the disease may occur outside lymphnodes, manifestation of skeletal system occurs in less than 8% of cases. In addition, presentation of this disease in a purely skeletal form without lymph nodes involvement is extremely uncommon. This case report describes a 17-year-old female with a pure skeletal presentation of RDD in the fibula. Trocar biopsy was performed, and immunohistochemical staining using S100 and CD68 was done to confirm the diagnosis.

Rosai-Dorfman disease is a benign, self-limited, idiopathic proliferative histiocytic disorder. It was first described in 1969 by Rosai and Dorfman. In its typical form the disease is characterized by extensive cervical lymphadenopathy associated with fever, polyclonal gammopathy and leukocytosis with neutrophilia. The skin is the most common site affected. Extranodal manifestations have been reported in 43% of cases. In this study, we report an atypical case of Rosai-Dorfman disease in a female with massive cutaneous manifestation on the thigh, associated with a minimal lymphadenopathy limited to the regional inguinal lymph nodes.

Rosai-Dorfman disease (RDD) is a rare histiocytic condition of unknown etiology. Patients with RDD classically present with massive painless cervical lymphadenopathy. However, extra-nodal disease occurs in approximately 40% of cases, with the skin being among the most commonly involved sites. Patients with isolated extra-nodal involvement may present without adenopathy. Reports of RDD occurring in patients with Hodgkin’s lymphoma, and B-cell lymphoma have been published, but there has only been one previous report of RDD in a patient with a T-cell lymphoma. This case report documents a unique combination of RDD and mycosis fungoides (MF), a cutaneous T cell lymphoma. This report also highlights diagnostic challenges in RDD due to the rarity of the condition and its variable presentation.

Sinus histocytosis with massive lymphadenopathy, or Rosai-Dorfman disease, is a rare histiocytic disorder that typically presents with chronic, self-limiting, cervical lymphadenopathy. We present a case, a diagnostic dilemma for multiple consultation services, of an otherwise well 17-year-old boy without lymphadenopathy who, 8 months after excision of a T9 lytic vertebral lesion and epidural mass that caused cord compression, again presented with cord compression from progressive vertebral disease, recurrent epidural mass, and development of a paraspinal mass and tibial lesion. The excised vertebral and epidural lesions, 2 paraspinal biopsies, and tibial biopsy were interpreted as chronic inflammation until large histiocytes were noted, which were positive for CD68, S100 protein, fascin, and MAC387, and demonstrated characteristic emperipolesis (lymphophagocytosis) that was diagnostic of Rosai-Dorfman disease. This atypical clinical behavior and sites of involvement of multiple bones but not of lymph nodes is unusual and constitutes the aggressive end of the clinical spectrum and a rare cause for cord compression.

Kikuchi-Fujimoto Disease (KFD), also known as histiocytic necrotizing lymphadenitis, is a rare cause of cervical lymphadenopathy. Patients usually present with localized lymphadenopathy, fever and fatigue. Because of the poorly understood etiology, it can be mistaken for an infectious disease or even malignance. Here we discuss a case of KFD that initially presented with left sided cervical lymphadenopathy that later progressed to left supraclavicular lymph nodes. Due to its characteristic overlap with other disorders like tuberculous lymphadenitis and lymphoma, KFD remains an arduous diagnosis for physicians. Therefore, one should be made aware of symptoms that can lead to misdiagnosis in patients.

Rosai-Dorfman disease (RDD) is an extremely rare histiocytic disorder characterized by cervical lymphadenopathy, while the involvement of sellar region is less observed. Here we report a pediatric patient who was initially suspected as sellar germinoma but later identified as RDD. We also conducted a systematic review about RDD involving sellar region. A total of only 14 cases were included and analyzed in our study in terms of clinical presentation, endocrine abnormality, radiological features, pathology, treatment, and follow up. The most common neurological manifestations of sellar RDD is diabetes insipidus and visual changes. Two typical kinds of MRI manifestations were presented in sellar RDD; one is like meningioma-like mass lesions, another showing infiltrative pattern that demonstrates hyperintense areas on T2WI. Currently, the treatment of RDD is tailored to the individual clinical circumstances. For sellar RDD, surgical treatment can be considered to completely remove or debulk the tumor.

Rosai-Dorfman disease (RDD) is an idiopathic histiocytic proliferation affecting the lymph nodes. Isolated intracranial RDD is rare and usually appears as a well-defined, dural-based lesion without lymphadenopathy. The clinical and radiological features of intracranial RDD are similar to meningioma. Histopathology and immunohistochemistry are essential for a definitive diagnosis. This is a report of a 43-year old male with isolated intracranial RDD, which manifested as a suprasellar meningioma. The clinical, radiological and pathological aspects of the disease are discussed within the context of a review of previously reported cases.

Rosai-Dorfman disease (RDD) is a rare non-malignant histiocytosis disorder, commonly manifesting with massive painless cervical lymphadenopathy. Renal involvement develops in only four percent of patients with RDD. Generally, RDD is self-limiting and has a good prognosis; however, in patients with renal involvement, mortality rate can be as high as 40%.

Rosai-Dorfman Disease (RDD) is a rare disorder which usually associated with enlargement various superficial or deep lymph nodes. Clinical course of this disease is prolonged with exacerbation and remission phases occasionally. Over-production and accumulation of a specific type of white blood cell called histiocyte occurred in the lymph nodes of the body, mostly on the the neck. Other lymph node groups and in some cases, extra nodal abnormal accumulation of histiocytes may occur in other areas of the body that is more common in the head and neck region. Here we discussed a patient with extra-nodal involvement who presented with bilateral orbital mass.
