Rosai-Dorfman disease mimicking images of meningiomas: Two case reports and literature review

CONCLUSION: Intracranial Rosai-Dorfman tumors should always be remembered as differential diagnosis of meningiomas since they are similar radiologically and macroscopically. Once remembered and diagnosed, the lesion must be treated following the same pattern of resection done in meningiomas and, treatment's differences will not occur in the surgical excision technique, but in complementary chemotherapy implementation, radiotherapy, and even with radiosurgery aid, depending on the case. Thus, it is possible to obtain better results than with just the isolated surgical procedure.PMID:34221623 | PMC:PMC8247728 | DOI:10.25259/SNI_918_2020
