Rosai-Dorfman-Destombes (RDD) disease is also known as sinus histiocytosis with massive lymphadenopathy. It is an uncommon heterogeneous disease of children and young adults. Most of the patients with RDD generally present with painless lymphadenopathy, while extranodal and multisystem manifestation of the disease is unusual. The diagnosis is based on the imaging with clinicopathological correlation. Flourine-18 fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography/computed tomography is useful for the initial staging of the RDD lesions, which have similar appearance and avidity like intermediate and high-grade lymphomas. Here, we present the case of a 55-year-old female presented with left breast mass that turned out to be the extranodal Rosai-Dorfman disease.

Background: Rosai-Dorfman disease (RDD), also known as sinus histiocytosis with massive lymphadenopathy, is a rare non-malignant disorder characterized by excessive proliferation of histiocytes, the cause of which remains unknown. Although the lymph nodes are the most commonly affected site, some patients may present with extranodal involvement, particularly in the skin, nasal cavity, eyes, and bones. In this report, we aim to present a unique case of RDD with pleural involvement in a 61-year-old patient.

Rosai-Dorfman disease (RDD) is a nonmalignant disease of histiocyte proliferation. RDD usually presents with painless cervical lymphadenopathy, although extranodal involvement can occur. Cardiac involvement was reported in <0.

Rosai-Dorfman disease (RDD) is a rare proliferative histiocytic disorder characterized by sinus histiocytosis with massive lymphadenopathy, rarely presenting with severe and life-threatening extra-nodal features. The rarity of RDD, clinically variant phenotype, limited data, and lack of a current standardized management approach make treatment decisions difficult. Herein, we present a case of life-threatening, disseminated RDD with rare clinical features of recurrent pericardial effusion, bilateral pleural effusions, and abdominal tissue fibrosis successfully treated with six cycles of cladribine, achieving clinical remission.

Rosai-Dorfman disease (RDD) is a rare benign proliferative disorder. Lymph nodes are the usual and common sites of involvement. Involvement of the extranodal site is also documented in the literature.

Introduction: Rosai-Dorfman Disease (RDD), also known as sinus histiocytosis with massive lymphadenopathy, is an uncommon histiocytic disorder. It may be associated with autoimmune diseases, but there are few reports of concurrent ankylosing spondylitis. RDD is typically characterized by massive bilateral and painless cervical lymphadenopathy, which can also involve extranodal sites and constitutional symptoms, but rarely affect the chest cavity.
