Project description:ObjectiveTo report the clinico-histopathologic features, management and outcome of Rosai-Dorfman disease of the orbit.DesignNon-comparative case series.ResultsRosai-Dorfman disease of the orbit constituted 0.09% of all ocular specimens received at our Institute, presenting with a firm rubbery mass causing proptosis; bilateral in 4 (57%) cases. The median age at presentation was 13 years (range 5-65); median duration of symptoms was 6 (range 3-15) years. Lymphadenopathy was noted in 4 (57%); extranodal involvement in 3 (43%). After biopsy, 3 cases were treated with systemic corticosteroids, 2 cases developed local recurrence that responded to systemic corticosteroid therapy. Polymorphous population of lymphocytes, plasma cells, and characteristic S-100-positive histiocytes showing emperipolesis were pathognomonic histologic features.ConclusionRosai-Dorfman disease of the orbit, although rare, should be considered in young individuals with chronic proptosis with rubbery masses. Excision and corticosteroid therapy provide a favorable outcome.

Project description:Purpose of reviewRosai-Dorfman disease (RDD) is a rare histiocytic disorder typically presenting as painless cervical lymphadenopathy. Extranodal involvement is common and may also affect bones. Here, we present a patient with typical nodal disease and multifocal bone manifestations. Further, a systematic literature review was performed to better understand the phenotype, clinical course and treatment options of such patients.Recent findingsRDD is a nonmalignant, classically sporadic histiocytosis. Nevertheless, increasing evidence also suggests familial forms of the disease. According to our literature review, bone involvement is exceedingly rare and heterogeneous. Clinical outcome in terms of mortality seems to be favorable in most cases. Currently, therapy strategies include surgical and immunosuppressive treatments, but the optimal treatment of osseous RDD remains to be defined. Patients with osseous RDD may present to rheumatologists with arthralgia or arthritis. Due to the rarity of the disease, diagnosis and treatment remain challenging.

Project description:The aim of this study is to report a case of cystoid macular oedema (CME) associated with Rosai-Dorfman Disease (RDD).A 52-year-old male initially presented with a two-month history of a congested left eye. At presentation, visual acuity was 20/20 in the right eye and 20/80 in the left eye. Biomicroscopy showed conjunctival hyperaemia in the left eye with a slight elevation, suggesting a subconjunctival mass. Retinal fluorescein angiography and optical coherence tomography (OCT) revealed the presence of CME in the left eye. A clinical examination revealed nodular lesions in the ears and a lump in the subcutaneous tissue of the left arm. A biopsy of the subcutaneous lesion showed histological and immunohistochemical characteristics of RDD. The patient was treated with intravitreal triamcinolone (0.1 mL/4 mg). One month after treatment, there was complete regression of the oedema with a significant improvement in visual acuity to 20/20.This is the first reported case of RDD associated with cystoid macular oedema. Macular oedema responded to intravitreal treatment with triamcinolone.

Project description:Rosai-Dorfman disease is a rare subtype of non-Langerhans cell histiocytosis. With the last major report published in 1990, there is a paucity of contemporary data on this disease. Our objective was to report the clinicopathological features, treatments and outcomes of patients seen at a tertiary referral center. Sixty-four patients with histopathological diagnosis of Rosai-Dorfman disease were identified from 1994 to 2017 (median age 50 years; range, 2-79). The median duration from symptom onset to diagnosis was seven months (range, 0-128), which was also reflected in the number of biopsies required to establish the diagnosis (median 2; range, 1-6). The most common presentation was subcutaneous masses (40%). Of the 64 patients, 8% had classical (nodal only) and 92% had extra-nodal disease (67% extra-nodal only). The most common organs involved were skin and subcutaneous tissue (52%), followed by lymph nodes (33%). Three patients had an overlap with Erdheim-Chester disease, which had not been described before. Two of these were found to have MAP2K1 mutations. Commonly utilized first line treatments were surgical excision (38%) and systemic corticosteroids (27%). Corticosteroids led to a response in 56% of the cases. Of those treated initially, 15 (30%) patients developed recurrent disease. The most commonly used systemic agent was cladribine (n=6), with 67% overall response rate. Our study demonstrates that Rosai-Dorfman disease has diverse clinical manifestations and outcomes. While this disease has been historically considered a benign entity, a subset of patients endures an aggressive course necessitating the use of systemic therapies.

Project description:RATIONALE:Rosai-Dorfman disease (RDD) is a rare benign histiocytic disease that is commonly characterized by massive painless cervical lymphadenopathy and systemic manifestations. Isolated extranodal involvement, especially spinal involvement, is extremely rare. PATIENT CONCERNS:A 28-year-old man presented with intermittent dorsodynia and bilateral lower-limb weakness and numbness. A magnetic resonance scan (MRI) showed an extradural lesion of the T6-T9 thoracic spine that lead to cord compression. DIAGNOSES:Histopathological findings showed distinctive emperipolesis and immunohistochemistry results that were positive for cluster of differentiation CD68 and S100. Therefore, we diagnosed the Rosai-Dorfman disease. INTERVENTIONS:we performed a nearly total surgical resection and a limited T6-T9 laminectomy. OUTCOMES:Postoperatively, the patient's symptoms were partially relieved and experienced no recurrence during the 6-month follow-up. The preoperative diagnosis of isolated spinal RDD still remains challenging. LESSONS:Thus, we should consider RDD in the differential diagnosis of the central nervous system. Besides surgical resection, the treatment also included radiation, chemotherapy or monoclonal antibodies. However, the optimal treatment remains controversial. Therefore, we should exert all our energies on the exploration of etiology and adjuvant therapy for this disease.

Project description:BackgroundThe term "Tolosa-Hunt syndrome" (THS) has been used to refer to painful ophthalmoplegia associated with nonspecific inflammation of the cavernous sinus and many processes can result in a similar clinical picture, including infectious, inflammatory and neoplastic diseases. Rosai-Dorfman disease (RDD) is a lymphoproliferative disorder that rarely affects the central nervous system. We report a case of isolated CNS Rosai-Dorfman disease involving the cavernous sinus and presenting as "Tolosa-Hunt syndrome".Case presentationOur patient presented with horizontal diplopia due to impairment of cranial nerves III, IV and VI and a stabbing/throbbing headache predominantly in the left temporal and periorbitary regions. There was a nonspecific enlargement of the left cavernous sinus on MRI and the patient had a dramatic response to steroids. Biopsy of a frontal meningeal lesion was compatible with RDD.ConclusionsWe highlight the importance of including Rosai-Dorfman disease as a differential diagnosis in cavernous sinus syndrome and demonstrate a satisfactory long-term response to steroid treatment in this disease.

Project description:Extranodal Rosai-Dorfman disease is a rare benign condition recently reported to sometimes show features of IgG4-related disease. The purpose of this study was to describe the corneal-limbal manifestation of the entity and to investigate whether numerous IgG4-positive plasma cells are associated with the disease at this site.This is an interventional retrospective small case series.Two patients presenting with painless limbal mass lesions underwent total excisional biopsy with anterior lamellar keratoplasty for diagnostic and therapeutic purposes. Histopathologic evaluation of the specimens revealed inflammatory lesions containing atypical S100-immunoreactive histiocytes diagnostic of Rosai-Dorfman disease, but not an increase in the IgG4-positive plasma cells. Point mutations (V600E) in the BRAF oncogene were absent.Rosai-Dorfmann disease should be considered in the differential diagnosis of limbal mass lesions. Involvement at this site was not associated with BRAF mutation or IgG4 abnormalities in the cases examined.
