Published: January 2025

Rosai-Dorfman-Destombes (RDD) disease is also called as sinus histiocytosis and is characterized by enlarged lymph nodes and previously called as non-Langerhans cell histiocytosis. Based on pathologic, molecular, and genetic features, RDD disease has been classified into sporadic noncutaneous (classical nodal, extranodal, neoplasia associated, and autoimmune associated), familial (H syndrome, autoimmune lymphoproliferative syndrome related, and familial NOS), and cutaneous subtypes. Cutaneous RDD disease is not associated with lymphadenopathy or visceral organ involvement. The disease is usually localized and has relatively better long-term prognosis. Presented here is a case of indurated plaque-like skin lesions over the abdomen. F-fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG) positron emission tomography-computed tomography scan revealed FDG avid cutaneous-subcutaneous soft-tissue lesions. Histology confirmed the diagnosis of cutaneous RDD disease.

Case report: Pulmonary non-Langerhans cell histiocytosis in a dog with acute interstitial granulomatous pneumonia.

Background: Pulmonary involvement of Non-Langerhans Cell Histiocytosis (PNLCH) is a rare cause of interstitial pulmonary disease in people and are classified as either Erdheim-Chester disease (ECD) or Rosai-Dorfman disease (RDD). In veterinary medicine, feline pulmonary Langerhans cell histiocytosis (PLCH) has been identified as an infiltrative histiocytic disorder with an insidious onset of progressive respiratory distress and is non-responsiveness to empiric therapies. Unfortunately, subsequent death either from respiratory failure or humane euthanasia are the reported outcomes in all reported cases.

Background: Rosai-Dorfman-Destombes disease (RDD) is a rare form of histiocytosis, characterized by the accumulation of S100 protein-positive and CD1a-negative histiocytes with emperipolesis. Recently, oncogenic mutations in mitogen-activated protein kinase pathway genes were reported in nearly half of RDD patients.

Methods: We conducted a nationwide retrospective survey of childhood RDD in Japan.

Autophagy is associated with chemoresistance, which is the leading cause of failure in chemotherapeutic treatments. Among the various aspects of autophagy, autophagic flux serves as a critical indicator for evaluating the dynamic processes involved.We report herein that the multifunctional protein HAX-1 promotes chemoresistance by effectively blocking the fusion of autophagosomes with lysosomes.
