Rosai-Dorfman disease (RDD), otherwise known as sinus histiocytosis with massive lymphadenopathy (SHML), is a very rare and typically benign disorder of unknown etiology with <10% bone involvement. The report is of a case seen at the authors’ hospital of a patient presenting with several months’ onset unspecified nontraumatic ankle pain. There was no physical mass or lymphadenopathy appreciated on examination. Plain radiographs and magnetic resonance images demonstrated an osteolytic lesion at the medial malleolus. Biopsy revealed the diagnosis of intraosseous manifestation of Rosai-Dorfman disease.

Sinus histiocytosis with massive lymphadenopathy (Rosai–Dorfman disease) being a rare benign proliferative self-limiting disease of the cells of macrophage-histiocyte family is of unknown etiology and presents with massive lymphadenopathy. We are hereby reporting a case of RDD presenting with massive bilateral cervical and submandibular lymphadenopathy, diagnosed by histocytopathology.

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.

ABSTRACTRosai–Dorfman disease (RDD) or sinus histiocytosis with massive lymphadenopathy (SHML) is a self-limiting, benign histiocytic disorder. We report a case of RDD mimicking lymphoma clinically and cytologically in a 3-year-old male child. The present case highlights the importance of cytology in the diagnosis of RDD along with cytological features of other differential diagnoses.

<p>Rosai-Dorfman’s disease also known as sinus histiocytosis with massive lymphadenopathy (SHML) is characterized by distorted lymph node architecture with marked dilation of lymphatic sinuses occupied by numerous lymphocytes, as well as histiocytes with vesicular nucleus and abundant clear cytoplasm with phagocytized lymphocytes or plasma cells, also known as ‘emperipolesis’. This disease of unknown etiology progresses with a benign prognosis strictly and only when an early diagnosis and treatment is made. A late diagnosis and a generalized lymph node involvement contribute to a poor prognosis. We reported a case of a 29-year-old Indian female with a 4-month history of painful unilateral cervical mass and low-grade fever with the final diagnosis of Rosai-Dorfman disease. The final diagnosis was made by fine needle aspiration (FNA) biopsy of the cervical lymph node. In conclusion, FNA biopsy can be enough to make the diagnosis in most cases due to the distinct cytological features of SHML, thereby avoiding more invasive approaches that potentially are unnecessary.</p>

Rosai-Dorfman disease (RDD) manifesting as a solitary osseous lesion especially of talus bone is rare. The authors reported a 31-year-old Thai man who had chronic left ankle pain and the biopsy of his talar lesion demonstrated emperipolesis, the typical histological feature of RDD. He was treated with curettage and adjuvant bisphosphonate and appeared to show improvement in clinical symptoms and radiological evidence. To the authors’ knowledge, this is the first report of an intraosseous RDD lesion treated with bisphosphonate with imaging follow-up.

Rosai-Dorfman disease is a rare histiocytic proliferative disorder that commonly presents with a massive lymphadenopathy and a variety of constitutional symptoms. Severe hemolytic anemia is an infrequent complication of this disease. Although the etiology of the condition is unknown, infectious agents including viruses have been implicated. We describe a 2-year-old female child who presented with fever, pallor, and generalized lymphadenopathy complicated by the development of autoimmune hemolytic anemia. A review of the literature of this condition is also provided.

Abstract Sinus histiocytosis with massive lymphadenopathy (SHML), also known as Rosai-Dorfman disease, is a rare self-limiting disorder of histiocytes with unknown etiology. Sinus histiocytosis with massive lymphadenopathy is most common in children and young adults and is characterized by painless lymphadenopathy. Histologically there is a proliferation of sinus histiocytes with lymphophagocytosis or emperipolesis. On rare occasions, SHML has been associated with lymphoma, usually involving different anatomic sites and developing at different times. We report a case of concomitant SHML and nodal marginal zone lymphoma involving the same lymph node without involvement of other nodal or extranodal sites. The presence of concomitant SHML within the lymph node involved by nodal marginal zone lymphoma may represent the responsiveness of SHML histiocytes to B-cell–derived cytokines in lymphoproliferative disorders. To our knowledge, this is the first description of concomitant occurrence of SHML and nodal marginal zone lymphoma.
