Unlabelled: Rosai-Dorfman Syndrome (RDD) is a rare, benign, self-limiting disorder which is characterized by the non-malignant proliferation of distinctive histiocytic cell within lymphatic system. RDD has been described as a dynamic entity in the spectrum of histiocytosis with non-Langerhans cell histiocytosis at one end and Langerhans cell histiocytosis at the other. The exact etiology of this disease is uncertain despite widespread search for infectious or immunological reasons. We present a case of purely cutaneous Rosai-Dorfman Syndrome presenting as abdominal wall swelling.

Keywords: Rosai-Dorfman Disease, Lymphoma.
