Benign but fatal: management of endotracheal Rosai-Dorfman disease with acute onset
Rosai-Dorfman disease (RDD) is a non-malignant condition mainly manifesting as a proliferation of histiocytes in lymph nodes. Endotracheal RDD (ERDD) with an acute onset presentation is extremely rare. There are few case reports of ERDD mainly concerning its pathology, diagnostics and bronchoscopic treatment, without providing sufficient clinical information from a comprehensive perspective. As a novel and challenging technique, tracheal resection and reconstruction (TRR) with spontaneous-ventilation video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (SV-VATS) has been reported as feasible and safe in highly selected patients, but few c...

Kidney involvement in Rosai-Dorfman disease
A 32-year-old woman was referred to us for bilateral hydroureteronephrosis due to suspected idiopathic retroperitoneal fibrosis, for which she had received several immunosuppressive therapies (i.e., glucocorticoids, rituximab, and tocilizumab) without benefit. No previous imaging scans were available for review. An abdominal computed tomography revealed bilateral massive pararenal lesions extending into the renal pelvis (Figure  1). The lesions had high metabolic activity at 18fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography, which also showed signs of diffuse sinusitis with osteosclerosis of facial bones and 18fluorodeoxy...

Case report: A new pathogenic variant of LRBA deficiency with a complex phenotype and Rosai-Dorfman disease
We reported a new pathogenic variant of LRBA deficiency with a complex phenotype—neonatal diabetes, very early-onset inflammatory bowel disease, and polyarthritis—who presented with lymph node enlargement. A case of Rosai-Dorfman’s disease (RDD) was confirmed. The occurrence of an RDD lesion in LRBA-deficiency has never been reported so far. (Source: Frontiers in Immunology)

162. Rosai-Dorfman disease of the mandible
Rosai-Dorfman-Destombes disease (RDD) is a rare, benign, self limiting disease with an excellent prognosis in most cases. It classically affects children and young adults and presents with cervical lymphadenopathy in the majority of cases. Presentation in extra-nodal sites only is less common and within in the mandible is rare with only 6 reported cases in the literature. (Source: The British Journal of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery)

68Ga-FAPI and 18F-FDG PET/CT Images of a Patient With Rosai-Dorfman Disease With Liver Involvement
We report a case of Rosai-Dorfman disease with liver and bone marrow involvement. In this case, 18F-FDG PET/CT revealed FDG avidity in multiple lymph nodes, liver, and bone marrow. 68Ga-FAPI PET/CT showed higher uptake of 68Ga-FAPI than that of 18F-FDG in the same lesions. The findings of 68Ga-FAPI PET/CT in this patient highlighted the potential value of 68Ga-FAPI for staging in Rosai-Dorfman disease. (Source: Clinical Nuclear Medicine)

Rosai-Dorfman Disease involving the eye and ocular adnexa. Clinicopathologic series of 17 patients
CONCLUSION: RDD of the eye and ocular adnexa in Mexican-mestizo patients is common in middle-aged women frequently as an isolated orbital lesion. Histopathology is necessary for accurate diagnosis. Most patients had a favourable outcome after medical and surgical treatment. To the best of our knowledge this is the largest case series of RDD of the eye and ocular adnexa in Latin-American patients.PMID:36373616 | DOI:10.1177/11206721221138319 (Source: European Journal of Ophthalmology)

Rosai-Dorfman-Destombes Disease in the Pediatric Head and Neck

Treatment-Refractory Nodular Scleritis
A 59-year-old woman with a 5-year history of intermittent bilateral uveitis and scleritis presented with painful left uveitis and an episcleral nodule shown to be a uveal-episcleral lesion on ultrasound biomicroscopy. Biopsy of a nasal sinus mass 3 years earlier showed a histiocytic infiltrate with emperipolesis, consistent with Rosai-Dorfman-Destombes disease. What would you do next? (Source: JAMA Ophthalmology)

MUM1/IRF4 is Highly Expressed in Dermatopathic Lymphadenopathy: Potential Utility in Diagnosis and Differential Diagnosis
Dermatopathic lymphadenopathy (DL) is a distinctive type of lymph node hyperplasia that typically occurs in the setting of chronic dermatologic diseases. DL generally self-resolves following disappearance of the underlying skin stimulus and does not require any specific therapy. We recently observed multiple myeloma oncogene 1/interferon regulatory factor 4 (MUM1/IRF4) expression in a case of DL using immunohistochemical methods. The goal of this study was to systematically assess DL cases for MUM1/IRF4 expression and to survey other histiocytic and Langerhans cell lesions. We particularly focused on Langerhans cell histio...

Strong Coexpression of Transcription Factors PU.1 and Oct-2 in Rosai-Dorfman Disease
CONCLUSIONS: PU.1 emerged as a robust marker with crisp nuclear staining in RDD histiocytes as well as in engulfed inflammatory cells. Strong coexpression of PU.1 and Oct-2 is a useful diagnostic marker in differentiating histiocytic/dendritic cell proliferations.PMID:36239684 | DOI:10.1093/ajcp/aqac119 (Source: American Journal of Clinical Pathology)
