Abstract
Rosai-Dorfman disease (RDD) is a rare non-malignant disorder, characterized by painless multiple cervical lymphadenopathy, fever, and elevated inflammatory markers. Its diagnosis is difficult due to its rare incidence and various clinical presentations, especially in extranodal involvement. In this report, we demonstrate a patient with RDD who presented with a nasal septum and laryngeal tumor that caused dyspnea. We achieved a successful treatment outcome with combined surgical resection of the laryngeal mass and corticosteroid medication. The symptoms and tumors were resolved within 3 weeks after treatment. We reported our experiences with review of literatures.

Abstract
Cutaneous Rosai-Dorfman Disease (CRDD), a rare form of Rosai-Dorfman Disease (RDD), lacks established treatment guidelines. In this case report, we detailed a successful case of CRDD management in a 50-year-old woman with facial lesions. Our treatment included 5-aminolevulinic acid photodynamic therapy (ALA-PDT) and low-dose oral corticosteroids. Remarkable improvement was evident after six ALA-PDT courses, and a one-year follow-up confirmed sustained remission. This case highlights the potential of combining ALA-PDT with low-dose corticosteroids as a promising therapeutic strategy for CRDD. Further research is necessary to fully elucidate its mechanisms and effectiveness.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The term "Tolosa-Hunt syndrome" (THS) has been used to refer to painful ophthalmoplegia associated with nonspecific inflammation of the cavernous sinus and many processes can result in a similar clinical picture, including infectious, inflammatory and neoplastic diseases. Rosai-Dorfman disease (RDD) is a lymphoproliferative disorder that rarely affects the central nervous system. We report a case of isolated CNS Rosai-Dorfman disease involving the cavernous sinus and presenting as "Tolosa-Hunt syndrome". CASE PRESENTATION Our patient presented with horizontal diplopia due to impairment of cranial nerves III, IV and VI and a stabbing/throbbing headache predominantly in the left temporal and periorbitary regions. There was a nonspecific enlargement of the left cavernous sinus on MRI and the patient had a dramatic response to steroids. Biopsy of a frontal meningeal lesion was compatible with RDD. CONCLUSIONS We highlight the importance of including Rosai-Dorfman disease as a differential diagnosis in cavernous sinus syndrome and demonstrate a satisfactory long-term response to steroid treatment in this disease.

Abstract
Abstract
Background
Rosai-Dorfman disease (RDD) is a rare but well-defined, histiocytic proliferative disorder with massive lymphadenopathy.
Case presentation
Herein we present the case of a 22-month-old girl with abdominal, neutrophilia, anemia, ascites, hepatosplenomegaly and fever. There were multiple enlarged mesenteric and para-aortic lymph nodes on abdominal ultrasonography and computer tomography scan. Microscopic examination of mesenteric lymph nodes showed dilation of the lymph sinuses occupied by lymphocytes, plasma cells, and many histiocytes. These histiocytes showed emperipolesis within their cytoplasm. With the diagnosis of RDD, prednisolone was started and good response was seen. However, splenomegaly and pancytopenia presented at follow up, and, after several hospital admissions, she died of sepsis.
Conclusions
RDD should be considered in the differential diagnosis of pediatric lymphadenomegaly. Although most patients experience favorable prognosis, some fatalities occur due to progression and dissemination of the disease.

Abstract
Rosai–Dorfman disease (RDD) is a rare and benign pathology of sinus histiocytosis of unknown etiology. Lymphadenopathy is the predominant clinical manifestation, but diverse organs can also be affected. Histological features involve S-100+ histiocytes with characteristic nuclear features within the enlarged sinusoids of the lymph nodes. The clinical course is unpredictable, but is often benign with spontaneous resolution of disease in most patients. We report a patient with bilateral massive enlargement of cervical, axillary, and inguinal lymph nodes, moderately enlarged spleen, and a weight loss of 15 kg. Excisional biopsy from the cervical lymph node showed that the dilated sinusoids were infiltrated by lymphocytes, plasma cells, and large histiocytes with CD 68 and S-100 protein positive. Due to the slow progression of the disease, oral prednisolone with a body weight of 1 mg/kg was started in March 2016. The steroid dosage has been adjusted many times during the clinical follow-up. After 33 months, steroid treatment resulted in partial shrinkage of lymph nodes, the spleen returned to its normal size, and the patient gained weight. After 38 months of follow-up, no systemic symptoms, sign, or extranodal involvement were detected, and the patient continued with low-dose steroid treatment.

Abstract
The association between Rosai-Dorfman Disease (RDD) and cancer was reported for the first time in 1984. However, there are still a small number of reports of this association. We describe a 60-year-old woman who presented with a focal onset motor seizure followed by tonic-clonic generalization and persistent headache. Magnetic Resonance Imaging disclosed an irregular hyperintense lesion in T2 and vasogenic edema in the left parietal region. Immunohistochemical analysis of a biopsy fragment was positive for protein S-100 and CD68 and negative for CD1a, compatible with the diagnosis of RDD. She previously had breast cancer six years earlier and had used tamoxifen for two years and anostrozol for three years after diagnosis of cancer. RDD has been already associated with different cancers, such as Hodgkin's lymphoma, non-Hodgkin's lymphoma, follicular lymphoma, melanoma, adenocarcinoma and small cell lung cancer. As far as we know, this is the first report of an association between breast cancer and RDD.

Abstract
The present study describes a case of cutaneous Rosai-Dorfman disease (CRDD). The clinical manifestations and therapeutic options of CRDD vary, and the etiology of the disease is still unknown. The clinical manifestations include single or multiple yellow-red to brown or purple papules, nodules and/or plaques, with the face being the most frequently affected site. A 52-year-old man presented with an 8-month history of multiple lesions on his face. Physical examination revealed a number of yellow-red papules and nodules, the majority of which had coalesced into plaques. The histological finding from a red papule showed a dense, dermal infiltrate, which was predominantly composed of large histiocytes, strongly positive for S-100 and cluster of differentiation (CD)68 but negative for CD1a, mixed with aggregates of lymphocytes and scattered plasma cells and eosinophils. The patient showed only a marginal improvement with a month of oral, low-dose prednisone.

Abstract
Rosai-Dorfman disease, also known as sinus histiocytosis with massive lymphadenopathy, is a benign proliferative disorder of histiocytes with an unknown etiology. It is a rare disease characterized by overproduction and accumulation of histiocytes within lymph node sinuses and many other extranodal sites, including skin, oral and nasal cavities, respiratory tract, eyelid, and periorbital area. In this case, a 44-year-old woman with diagnosis of Rosai-Dorfman disease, with xanthelasma-like cutaneous lesions on facial area, extending to her neck and acneiform papules on her back, cervical lymph node involvement, and concomitant presence of diabetes insipidus was presented. Histopathological examination of the lesions demonstrated diffuse lymphocyte, plasmocyte, eosinophil, and sparse neutrophil infiltration, together with histiocytes showing phagocytosed inflammatory cells (emperipolesis). Histiocytes demonstrated immunoreactivity with the antibodies for CD68 and S100, whereas they were negative for CD1a and Langerin. Laboratory tests were normal, except mild immunoglobulin G hypergammaglobulinemia. Systemic methylprednisolone therapy was effective for cutaneous lesions.

Abstract
Sinonasal Rosai-Dorfman disease (S-RDD) is a rare form of RDD limited to the sinonasal cavity. Multipatient studies of Chinese S-RDD and documentation of its clinical spectrum are rare. This study aimed to identify the clinical profiles of Chinese S-RDD. Medical records of and tissue sections from 10 patients diagnosed with S-RDD between 2007 and 2014 were reviewed. Data on clinical presentations, endoscopy signs, imageological change, treatment and outcome were analyzed. The mean age of five male and five female patients at the first visit was 40.3 years and the mean follow-up period was 58.6 months. Based on the lesion sites, five cases were divided into an anterior sinonasal group, accompanied by symptoms of epistaxis, nasal obstruction and nasal dorsal deformity. Five other cases were divided into a posterior sinonasal group, accompanied by symptoms of hyposmia, epistaxis and nasal obstruction. Endoscopy signs and imageological changes in the anterior group showed diffuse infiltration of the RDD lesion under the septum mucosa, but in the posterior group the RDD lesions often showed as formations on polyps. At the end of follow-up, only one case spontaneously resolved without surgery; two cases in the anterior sinonasal group and three cases in the posterior sinonasal group recurred after endoscopic surgery, but surgery can result in short-term symptomatic control and restoration of function in all cases. S-RDD of the anterior and posterior sinonasal cavity may have different clinical characteristics; endoscopic surgery is effective for short-term symptomatic control and restoration of function for S-RDD.

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.

Abstract
Introduction Rosai-Dorfman disease (RDD) is a rare histiocytic proliferative disorder of unknown etiology. Usually it presents with massive painless cervical lymph node enlargement. Histologically, it shows proliferation of distinctive histiocytic cells that demonstrate emperipolesis in the background of a mixed inflammatory infiltrates. Immunohistochemically, the cells are positive for markers such as CD68 and S100. Objective To report a case of a 12-year-old patient with multiple sites of cervical lymphadenitis, which was diagnosed as RDD histopathologically as well as immunohistologically. Resumed Report A 12-year-old girl presented with multiple painless sites of cervical lymphadenitis without any systemic and other ear, nose, and throat manifestations. The biopsy report of the lymph node showed dilatation of the sinuses, filled with histiocytes having foamy cytoplasm. Many of the histiocytes were engulfing mature lymphocytes. The sinus histiocytes were strongly positive for S-100 protein. Conclusion RDD must be considered in the differential diagnosis of massive or multiple lymphadenopathies.

Abstract
Rosai-Dorfman disease (RDD)-sinus histiocytosis with massive lymphadenopathy-represents a peculiar proliferation of histiocyte-like cells in patients. The condition was described by Rosai and Dorfman in 1969, after examining 4 cases, as an idiopathic histiocytic disorder. In 1972, they studied an additional 30 cases of patients with RDD. A histioproliferative disorder, RDD is characterized by bilateral, painless, cervical lymphadenopathy in 81% of patients. Fever, leukocytosis, elevated sedimentation rate, and polyclonal hypergammaglobulinemia may also be found. In 30% of patients, extranodal involvement is present and may include the skin, eye orbit, upper respiratory tract, or testes. Cases involving the central nervous system are rare and account for < 5% of patients with RDD. We report on a 78-year-old woman presenting with new-onset headache, dizziness, and imbalance, which had been present for a few weeks prior to admission. Magnetic resonance imaging of the brain showed 2 enhancing lesions within the right and left cerebellar hemispheres. Biopsy of the mass demonstrated a lymphohistiocytic infiltrate involving the cerebellum with foci of emperipolesis (phagocytosed lymphocytes). The adjacent cerebellum showed myelinated nerve fibers with reactive gliosis. A thorough work-up and histopathologic exam of the biopsied mass demonstrated lymphohistiocytic infiltrate with foci of emperipolesis (phagocytosed lymphocytes) consistent with RDD. Other differential considerations, such as primary or secondary neoplasms, infections, lymphoproliferative disorders, granulomatoses, Langerhans cell histiocytosis, and lymphocyte-rich meningioma were ruled out by additional histopathologic exam.

Abstract
A 6-year-old boy presented with recurrent pneumonia and diarrhoea for 3 years. He had extensive mediastinal lymphadenopathy and atelectasis with low serum levels of IgA, IgG and IgG3. An inguinal lymph node biopsy demonstrated histological and histochemical features of Rosai-Dorfman disease. There was emperipolesis and histiocytes were immune-positive for S100 proteins. He responded to corticosteroids and regular infusions of immunoglobulins.

Abstract
In this study we investigated the distribution of IgG4+ plasma cells and regulatory T (T(REG)) cells, a major regulator of IgG4 production, in nodal and extranodal Rosai-Dorfman disease (RDD). Twenty-six specimens (15 nodal, 11 extranodal) were examined, with reactive lymph nodes and site-matched extranodal specimens as controls. Overall, 84.6% (22/26) of the specimens showed various degrees of sclerosis (7 mild, 8 moderate, and 7 severe). Nineteen cases (73.1%) exhibited more than 10 IgG4+ cells/0.060 mm(2) (photographed area at ×40), and 8 cases (30.8%) showed more than 40% of IgG+ cells being IgG4+. Only 1 control case exhibited more than 10 IgG4+ cells/0.060 mm(2) (P < .05). The number of T(REG) cells was comparable between nodal RDD and controls, whereas extranodal RDD exhibited significantly higher numbers of T(REG) cells than controls. These findings demonstrate that a subset of RDD shows features of IgG4-related disease and indicate an overlap between certain aspects of the 2 diseases.

Abstract
Rosai-Dorfman disease (RDD), also known as sinus histiocytosis with massive lymphadenopathy, is a rare non-neoplastic disease that is characterized by a proliferation of histiocytes mostly in lymph nodes. However, the etiological mechanism of RDD still remains unclear. Intrathoracic manifestations of RDD are only observed in 2% of patients with RDD. Spontaneous remission was reported in about 20% of patients with RDD; however, there are no reports of an intrathoracic manifestation of RDD that showed a spontaneous remission within a short period of time. A 64-year-old Japanese female with dry cough and left chest pain was introduced to our hospital, and computed tomography revealed a pulmonary nodular lesion and enlarged mediastinal lymph nodes. The bronchial specimen obtained from the abnormal mucosal lesion showed massive infiltration of histiocytes underneath the bronchial epithelium and emperipolesis, a typical pathological finding in RDD, which is characterized by the presence of histiocyte-like cells engulfing intact lymphocytes. These histiocytes were positive for S-100 (one of the known positive markers of RDD) and for CD68 (a marker for various cells of the macrophage lineage). All these findings are consistent with the diagnosis of RDD. These radiological and endoscopic findings spontaneously resolved within four months without any treatment. In conclusion, clinicians should be aware of this disease as one of differential diagnoses of pulmonary nodules in combination with mediastinal lymph node enlargements, especially in order to differentiate it from primary lung cancer.

Abstract
Rosai-Dorfman disease (RDD) or Sinus histiocytosis with massive lymphadenopathy is a rare and benign histiocytic proliferative disorder first described by Juan Rosai and Ronald Dorfman in 1969, whose etiology remains unknown. Since then, many cases were reported in the literature. The disease primarily involves the lymph nodes, and is characterized by painless, bilateral cervical lymphadenopathy accompanied by fever, night sweats, malaise and weight loss, reason why many patients are clinically misdiagnosed as malignant lymphoma. In some cases, extranodal involvement may be present. Leukocytosis, elevated erythrocyte sedimentation rate, and hypergamaglobulinemia are often present. The authors report a case of a 52-year-old female patient admitted to the hospital with the diagnosis of pneumonia and progressed to multiple organs failure and death. During the hospitalization an attempt to diagnose a lymphoproliferative disease trough an axillary lymph node biopsy was disappointing. The autopsy was crucial for the diagnosis, illustrating a severe and unusual presentation of Rosai-Dorfman disease.

Abstract
We report a case of extranodal Rosai-Dorfman Disease (RDD) of the scophoid in a 52-year old female. The patient presented with pain, swelling, and tenderness on deep palpation of the left wrist. Clinicoradiological diagnosis was osteomyelitis or tenosynovitis and curettage was performed on the lytic lesion over scaphoid to procure tissue. Diagnosis was made by histomorphology supported by immunostaining. The patient was managed conservatively with resolution of the lesion.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The purpose of this study was to explore the factors associated with the recurrence of Rosai-Dorfman disease (RDD) in the nasal cavity and paranasal sinus. METHODS In this study, we conducted a review of the English-language literature published between 1969 and 2010 on the recurrence of and treatment strategies for sinonasal RDD. RESULTS To our knowledge, 126 cases of RDD have been reported to date. Of the 126 patients, 32 (25.4%) had no recurrence or were alive with no evidence of disease; remission occurred in only 1 patient (0.7%); 69 patients (54.8%) had a recurrent, persistent, or progressive course; and 6 patients (4.8%) died from the disease. In patients with recurrent, persistent, and progressive disease, there was no significant tendency for lymph node involvement. CONCLUSION Sinonasal RDD is generally described as benign. However, recurrence and fatal outcome have been reported. Our results suggest that the initial modality may affect the recurrence of RDD.

Abstract
Rosai-Dorfman disease (RDD) is a benign proliferative histiocytic disorder predominantly of the lymph nodes with extranodal involvement in some cases. However, serous membranes are seldom involved in the extranodal cases, and epicardial involvement is never reported. Most RDD cases show a self-limiting process with good prognosis and corticosteroid treatment in some patients exhibiting good effect. We recently observed a case of RDD primarily manifesting pericardial and bilateral pleural effusion that finally led to death, and corticosteroid treatment showed little effect. Autopsy showed the characteristic S100-positive and CD68-positive histiocytes exhibiting emperipolesis in the lungs, pleura, epicardium, mediastinal lymph nodes, and colon. This case illustrates the importance of RDD in the differential diagnosis of effusion in multiple serous cavities. The failure of corticosteroid therapy in this patient and her death showed the poor prognosis of some patients with RDD. Moreover, to our knowledge, epicardial involvement of RDD has not been reported.
