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.

Objective: To investigate the clinical characteristics of patients with hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis (HLH) and quantify the diagnostic value of various indexes in patients with elevated soluble interleukin-2 receptor (sCD25), so as to construct a diagnostic prediction model of HLH.
Methods: The clinical characteristics of 121 patients with elevated sCD25 (≥2 400 U/ml) in the Third Affiliated Hospital of Sun Yat-Sen University were analyzed retrospectively. The patients were divided into HLH group and non-HLH group according to the diagnostic criteria of HLH.

Primary cutaneous gamma/delta (γδ) T-cell lymphoma (PCGDTCL) is a rare, aggressive malignant neoplasm of γδ T lymphocytes arising within the skin and subcutis. We present a challenging case of PCGDTCL diagnosed in a 35-year-old male soldier who presented with constitutional symptoms, pancytopenia, hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis (HLH), disseminated lymphadenopathy, and cutaneous lesions on his extremities and back following a deployment to Iraq and Syria. Histopathologic evaluation of an excisional biopsy showed that PCGDTCL can be focal, localized to the subcutaneous adipose tissue, and obscured by predominant HLH in the surrounding tissues.
