Rosai-dorfman disease diagnosed because of bilateral choroidal masses.

Retin Cases Brief Rep

Department of Ophthalmology and Visual Sciences, University of Louisville, Louisville, Kentucky.

Published: November 2014

Purpose: To describe a case of bilateral choroidal masses leading to the diagnosis of Rosai-Dorfman disease.

Method: Case report. Color photographs, fluorescein angiography, autofluorescence, indocyanine green angiography, and high-definition optical coherence tomography imaging of both eyes and computed tomography and biopsy of pelvis mass were performed. A 47-year-lady presented with unknown choroidal masses in both eyes. She had no visual complaints. Her medical history was noncontributory.

Results: Workup included a computed tomography of the chest and abdomen that demonstrated soft tissue masses in the renal pelvis bilaterally. A core needle biopsy from the renal mass demonstrated numerous histiocytoid that were positive for CD163 and S100 protein.

Conclusion: Based on this spectrum of findings, the diagnosis of Rosai-Dorfman disease was made. To date, the patient has been followed-up for 3 years without medical intervention and without visual deterioration. Careful follow-up is a reasonable management if patients are asymptomatic.

Northern California Kaiser Permanente, Roseville, CA, USA.

Purpose: We describe a case of bilateral chronic central serous chorioretinopathy (CSCR) secondary to adrenal cortical carcinoma.

Methods: Case report of a 70-year-old Hispanic man presenting with bilateral multifocal CSCR.

Results: Clinical findings of bilateral chronic CSCR along with 160 µm of subretinal fluid (SRF) and choroidal thickness greater than 400 µm without enhanced depth optical coherence tomography was noted in a patient presenting with distortion in vision in both eyes and weight gain of 15 pounds, weakness, and fatigue starting 8 months prior.

Case report of a 15-year-old girl who underwent extensive ophthalmic multimodal imaging and a comprehensive workup evaluation. Multiple choroid lesion masses in both eyes associated with systemic multifocal lymphadenopathy, involvement of the paranasal sinuses, and unusual intracranial manifestations well-shown by magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and whole-body PET-scan.

Article Synopsis
  • Chiari II malformation (CM-II) is a congenital condition involving the displacement of brain structures through the foramen magnum, and it can lead to various mass lesions in the brain.
  • A 9-year-old boy with a history of CM-II and related health issues underwent successful surgery to remove multiple masses from his fourth ventricle, which improved his hand dexterity and strength.
  • The pathology of these masses was characterized by choroid plexus papillary fibrosis, a finding not previously documented in similar cases, highlighting a unique histological profile of the lesions.

MS (multiple sclerosis) has specific criteria to avoid misdiagnosis. However, the Marburg variant of MS is so fulminant that initial axonal damage and other atypical observations have been allowed in past reports. We present a 74-year-old autopsy case with a vanishing tumor after steroids and radiation therapy, which was pathologically diagnosed as a Marburg variant with initial axonal loss.
