Abstract
INTRODUCTION Rosai Dorfman disease (RDD) is a rare benign histiocytic proliferative disorder of lymph node sinuses. Langerhans cell histiocytosis (LCH) is a solitary or multisystem clonal proliferation of abnormal dendritic cells (Langerhans cells) with varied presentations. The co-occurrence of these two entities is quite rare. CASE DESCRIPTION A six-year-old boy presented with multiple mass lesions in the neck since two years and a nodular lesion in right upper eyelid for the past 4 months. He was diagnosed with tubercular lymphadenitis 2 years back, and was given a course of anti-tubercular therapy (ATT) elsewhere. No improvement was seen. Fine needle aspiration cytology (FNAC) of the cervical lymph nodes revealed reactive lymphadenitis while lymph node biopsy showed features of RDD. Excision biopsy of the orbital mass showed features of both RDD and LCH. The patient was started on tablet prednisolone. Six months later, complete resolution of lymph node enlargement and remaining orbital mass was noted. Post operative contrast enhanced Magnetic Resonance Imaging of head and neck was normal. CONCLUSION The coexistence of RDD and LCH may be a result of divergent differentiation from a common lineage or a de novo phenotypic evolution.

Abstract
Mixed histiocytoses are a rare and recently recognized subset of histiocytic disorders that may involve the skin, characterized by the synchronous or metachronous development of lesions with Langerhans and/or non-Langerhans cell histiocytosis histopathological features. Around 10% of patients diagnosed with histiocytosis may develop a hematological malignancy, often with dramatic prognostic consequences. We hereby describe the exceptional case of a patient developing a MAP2K1-driven mixed histiocytosis with Langerhans cell histiocytosis, Rosai-Dorfman-Destombes disease, and Erdheim-Chester disease features and cutaneous involvement, progressing to a fatal and clonally-related acute myeloid leukemia. We reviewed the literature on similar cases and discussed the histopathological difficulties in their diagnosis and their clinical-pathological features.

Abstract
Histiocytoses are one of the ultimate diagnostic challenges that every physician face at least once in his/her life. Giving their protean manifestation and differentiated therapeutic needs, histiocytosis requires extensive characterization and multidisciplinary management. Mixed histiocytosis is an emerging group of syndromes defined by the overlap of Langerhans cell histiocytosis and another histiocytic disorder of different type. Despite rare, it may account for up to a fifth of systemic histiocytosis patients in some series. In this work, we comprehensively review for the first time the clinical, radiological, histopathological and molecular features of mixed histiocytosis in children and adults. Moreover, we propose a clinical classification in three groups that differentiate patients with systemic involvement and worse overall survival to other groups with more localized manifestations and indolent behavior, wanting to ease their recognition and treatment. Interestingly we also found that mixed histiocytosis harbor BRAFV600E mutations with a higher frequency comparing to all other histiocytoses, and may therefore benefit of specific inhibitory drugs.

[PMID: 32591351 DOI: 10.1136/jclinpath-2020-206733] [Citation(s) in RCA: 108] [Impact Index Per Article: 27.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/07/2020] [Revised: 05/27/2020] [Accepted: 05/28/2020] [Indexed: 12/24/2022]
Abstract
CONTEXT Rosai-Dorfman disease is an uncommon histiocytic disorder most frequently presenting as bilateral cervical lymphadenopathy in children and young adults. Extranodal disease occurs in a significant proportion of patients. It has been recently classified as part of the 'R group' of histiocytoses by the Histiocyte Society in 2016. Cutaneous Rosai-Dorfman disease is regarded as a separate disease entity that falls into the 'C group' of histiocytoses according to this classification system. The pathogenesis was previously poorly understood; however, recent evidence demonstrating clonality in a subset of cases raises the possibility of a neoplastic process. A possible association with IgG4-related disease remains controversial. OBJECTIVES To provide a comprehensive review of Rosai-Dorfman disease, including nodal, extranodal and cutaneous forms, with a particular emphasis on new insights into the possible clonal nature of the disease; to discuss the recently revised classification of the histiocytoses by the Histiocyte Society; and to summarise the findings from the literature regarding the controversial association with IgG4-related disease. DATA SOURCES This review is based on published peer-reviewed English literature. CONCLUSIONS Classic Rosai-Dorfman disease, which may be sporadic or familial, is considered a separate entity from cutaneous disease, which is reflected in the revised classification of histiocytoses. An increase in IgG4-positive plasma cells may be seen in Rosai-Dorfman disease. This finding in isolation is of limited significance and should be interpreted with caution. Studies investigating the molecular profile of the disease show that in at least a subset of cases the disease is a clonal process. The classification of Rosai-Dorfman disease is therefore likely to change as our understanding of the aetiopathogenesis evolves.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Cutaneous Rosai-Dorfman (CRD) disease is a rare entity that is characterized by histiocytic proliferation in the skin. The disease has been reported to exhibit different clinical profiles and occasionally confounding histologic features that may be challenging for a correct diagnosis. The purpose of this study was to assess the pathobiology and highlight the variance in clinical and histologic spectrum of the disease based on published literature. METHODS A PUBMED search was performed to retrieve cases of cutaneous Rosai-Dorfman disease published in the literature. A PRISMA-guided review of the included articles was performed. Three interesting case reports from our institution are also described. RESULTS A total of 263 patients, of which 220 with purely cutaneous disease were identified in 152 studies. The mean age at presentation was 45.2 years with a slight female preponderance, and East-Asian, Caucasian and African populations being largely affected. Majority of the patients presented with multiple lesions, predominantly on limbs and comprising of nodules, plaques and papules that were occasionally pigmented. The classis histologic findings included large foamy histiocytes, exhibiting emperipolesis and a specific immunophenotype (S100+, CD68+, CD1a-). Inconspicuous emperipolesis, fibrosis, increased vascularity, neutrophilic microabscesses and concurrent langerhans cell histiocytosis and lymphoma in few cases highlighted the importance of immunohistochemistry for a definitive diagnosis. The disease shows an indolent and benign course with excision and chemotherapy being most effective for extensive and refractory cases. CONCLUSIONS This review of largest cohort of CRD patients provides an updated insight into the clinicopathologic features with possible diagnostic pitfalls and effective therapeutic options that should be useful in diagnosis, management and future research opportunities.

Abstract
Background The coexistence of Rosai-Dorfman disease (RDD) with Langerhans cell histiocytosis (LCH) is very rare, as to date only 17 cases have been reported in the english literature. The pathophysiology of this uncommon co-occurrence still remains enigmatic and a subject of various speculations. Case presentation We report a case of a 30-year-old female patient who presented with a pathologic fracture of the left proximal femur. Her medical history was unremarkable, there were no fever, skin lesions, lymphadenopathy or other organomegaly at physical examination. X-ray radiograph of the fractured femur showed an isolated and ill-defined osteolytic lesion. The histopathological analysis of biopsies from this lesion were consistent with a combined RDD-LCH of the bone. Conclusion Combined RDD-LCH is a very rare phenomenon, whose pathophysiology still remains unclear and a subject of various speculations.

Abstract
Rosai-Dorfman disease (RDD) is a reactive multisystem histiocytosis that typically presents with cervical lymphadenopathy and systemic symptoms. Cutaneous involvement occurs in approximately 10% of cases, and 3% of cases are limited to the skin without nodal or other extranodal involvement. Langerhans cell histiocytosis (LCH) is a clonal histiocytosis with a wide spectrum of presentations ranging from isolated skin or bone disease to multisystem involvement. Rare case reports have identified concomitant presentation of RDD and LCH; however, most of these reports have involved LCH and RDD occurring concurrently but at separate sites. We present a rare case of concurrent RDD and LCH presenting within a single skin nodule. The patient did not have any evidence of systemic involvement and has remained stable without additional treatment. We also review the literature on this unusual co-presentation and suggest possible underlying mechanisms. Finally, we recommend baseline laboratory and imaging studies and discuss treatment options based on the available evidence.

Abstract
Histiocytoses are rare and heterogeneous disease sharing histology, characterized by accumulation of histiocytes. They may be inherited or sporadic, and related to the accumulation of endo- or exogenous material in macrophages or to macrophage activation. Recent discoveries have shown that some histiocytoses, such as Langerhans cell histiocytosis or Erdheim-Chester disease, previously considered as idiopathic or inflammatory were clonal myeloid proliferations. This review presents the general classification of histiocytoses, and describes diagnostic and molecular criteria of idiopathic histiocytoses and histiocytic neoplasms.

Abstract
Rosai-Dorfman disease (RDD) is a nonmalignant histiocytic disorder of unknown origin
that is extremely rare. By immunohistochemistry, the RDD cells are characteristically
S-100 positive and CD1a negative. Emperipolesis is a common histopathological
finding, although not specific for RDD. Lymph node and cutaneous manifestations are
most frequent, but diverse organs can be affected. The clinical course is
unpredictable regardless of treatment. Here, we present a series of 8 cases
presenting lymph node and/or cutaneous lesions. Lymph node involvement was seen in
diverse regions, including mediastinal and retroperitoneal. The treatment response to
steroids was diversified, and the chemotherapy response was disappointing. Associated
autoimmune diseases (Sjögren syndrome and antiphospholipid syndrome) were observed in
2 patients. Regardless of therapy modality, these patients exhibited a favorable
prognosis in a follow-up duration that ranged from 15 to 80 months.
