Abstract
Cutaneous Rosai-Dorfman Disease Presented with a Solid Mass in the Thigh: A Case Report
Vouros Dimitrios and Toutouzas Konstantinos
Rosai-Dorfman disease (RDD) is a rare benign disorder of histiocytic origin It
was first described by Rosai and Dorfman as sinus histiocytosis with massive
lymphadenopathy in 1969. The disease mainly affects cervical lymph nodes and
may express extranodal involvement. A purely cutaneous form of RDD has also
been described. The etiology of the disease is unknown. Various mechanisms
such as genetic, infectious, and inflammatory have been proposed. Various forms
of treatment are suggested ranging from local steroids to surgical excision. We
report the case of a young female who presented with a cutaneous lesion of the
right thigh and was subsequently diagnosed with RDD involving the skin and the
subcutaneous tissue.
