A 48-year-old woman presented with a growing palpable mass at the left frontal area. The imaging studies and histopathological examination of the mass was consistent with dural-based Rosai-Dorfman disease with unusual transcranial extension. We reported this case not only because of its rarity, but also because of the infiltrative pattern. The infiltrative nature presented in this case may be taken into consideration for surgical treatment of intracranial Rosai-Dorfman disease.

Introduction: The aim of this study was to describe the clinical features and treatment responses of Rosai-Dorfman disease (RDD) and Erdheim-Chester disease (ECD) with kidney involvement.

Methods: We retrospectively analyzed patients with RDD and ECD with kidney involvement from 2005 to 2023, evaluating kidney function changes, as well as computed tomography (CT), and metabolic responses.

Results: The study included 4 patients with RDD and 44 with ECD, with median ages of 58 and 51 years, respectively.

Rosai-Dorfman disease (RDD) is a rare proliferative disorder of histiocytes, and primary solitary RDD of the bone is extremely rare. Some RDDs exhibit increased immunoglobulin (Ig)G4 positive (IgG4+) plasma cell infiltration and the histopathological features of IgG4-related disease (IgG4-RD). However, the association between RDD and IgG4-RD remains unclear.

Langerhans cell histiocytosis (LCH), juvenile xanthogranuloma (JXG) family lesions, and Rosai-Dorfman-Destombes disease (RDD) are now classified by the World Health Organization (WHO) under the heading of histiocytic/dendritic cell neoplasms. Each disease may manifest as a focal lesion, as multiple lesions, or as a widespread aggressive systemic disease with visceral organ involvement. Erdheim-Chester disease (ECD) is a rare systemic disease process of adults with limited cases in children.
