Sinus histiocytosis with with massive lymphadenopathy is a benign lymphoproliferative disorder.In 1969, Rosai and Dorfman[1] made detailed research on it, so it was also called Rosai DorfnlRn disease (rosai.dorfmandisease, RDD).The clinical manifestations were fever, neck lymph node enlargement, leukocytosis and high gamma globulin.Histopathological findings showed that lymph node involvement was present in group RDD, and the infiltration of the cells was predominant, especially the phagocytosis of the histiocytic cells.About 43% of RDD patients have lymph node involvement in [2], in which the skin is the most common extranodal organs involved.About 10% of patients with skin damage, skin rash and morphological diversity, is easy to be misdiagnosed.In this paper, through the analysis of a case of RDD and EB virus infection, in clinical in patients with special infection can be early detection and treatment.

<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>

✓ Sinus histiocytosis with massive lymphadenopathy was first described in 1969 by Rosai and Dorfman. The typical clinical characteristics of this disease include painless cervical lymphadenopathy, fever, and weight loss. The condition can present with an extranodal mass in about 25% of patients, and isolated masses without lymph node involvement occur rarely. The authors describe a 5-year-old boy with cavernous sinus syndrome due to an isolated extranodal form of sinus histiocytosis with massive lymphadenopathy in the temporal fossa. Several cases of this disease involving the central nervous system are reviewed. The histopathological and magnetic resonance imaging characteristics are discussed.

Node Involvement

Angiomyolipoma (AML) is a benign tumor that mainly occurs in the kidneys. Simultaneous involvement of the kidney and local regional lymph nodes is very rare and might be misdiagnosed as a metastasizing malignant cancer. In the present study, a 50-year-old woman was referred to our hospital after a routine health screening ultrasound. Sporadic multiple renal AML with lymph node involvement was suspected based on the clinical manifestations and radiologic features. Partial nephrectomy was performed and a para-inferior vena cava lymph node was removed. The pathologic results confirmed multiple AML with lymph node invasion. We also reviewed the English-language literature regarding renal AML with lymph node involvement. We found that middle-aged women were likely to develop this disease and that loin pain was the main presenting feature. Most patients had no history of tuberous sclerosis complex. Radical nephrectomy was the predominant treatment. No local recurrence or distant metastasis occurred in any patients after radical nephrectomy or partial nephrectomy. In conclusion, renal AML with lymph node involvement is rare but can occur in both patients with tuberous sclerosis complex and those with multiple sporadic AML. Partial nephrectomy should be the first-line treatment, after which further treatment is not necessary.

Carcinoma Stomach

Background: Carcinoma stomach, a major killer cancer all over the world, is still presenting late in developing countries due to delay in early diagnosis, lack of awareness, infrastructure etc. Objectives: To establish the importance of preoperative evaluation on operability of carcinoma stomach. Methods: Sixty clinically and histopathologically diagnosed ca stomach cases who underwent surgery in department of Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujib Medical University, Dhaka, and Dhaka Medical College Hospital, Dhaka in 2011 were assessed with clinical picture, investigations, preoperative evaluation and peroperative findings were recorded. Z test for proportion was used to assess clinical decision predictability with a p value of :s;0.05 as significant. Results: Male (73.33%) predominant with 2.75:1 male:female ratio was observed. Mobility, fixity and abdominal lymphadenopathy were not well detected through clinical assessment (p=0.001) while ascites, metastasis and Shelf of Slummer were similar in both clinical and operative finding. The endoscopy of upper GIT finding gave a unique picture as the findings were almost same as were found during operation. USG detected a lesser proportion of the clinical condition compared to peroperative condition whereas CT performed better than the USG except for the lesion detection. Though Computed Tomography (CT) detected higher percentage of lesion, metastasis, ascites and lymph node involvement compared to ultrasonogram (USG), it was significantly higher only for lesion detection (p=0.002) and lymph node involvement (p=<0.001). In the similar manner USG assessment of lesion detection (p=<0.001) and lymph node involvement (p=0.003) was significantly low compared to operative finding. When we looked between CT and operative finding only lesion detection was significantly low (p=0.01) indicating CT to be most effective predictor of clinical picture for operative decision. Preoperative plan were mostly not in accordance with peroperative decision except for total gastrectomy. Conclusion: The study indicates weakness in clinical detection and pre-operative plan compared to per-operative finding. Hence combination of clinical feature and investigation tools especially endoscopy of upper GIT combined with CT is recommended to predict a better operative decision.
