Article Synopsis
- The study focused on the presentation and management of primary Rosai-Dorfman Disease (RDD) in eleven patients from 2010 to 2015, with nine patients actively treated at the institute.
- The results showed that treatments like corticosteroids and low-dose radiation were effective, particularly in neck and CNS presentations, leading to various levels of response.
- The conclusion emphasized the lack of formal guidelines for RDD management and suggested that low-dose radiation combined with surgery or corticosteroids may improve local control of the disease.
