Doença de Rosai-Dorfman como diagnóstico diferencial de linfadenopatia cervical

Abstract: A Doença de Rosai-Dorfman ou Histiocitose Sinusal com Linfadenopatia Maciça (SHML) é uma entidade clínica idiopática, rara e benigna, geralmente apresentando linfonodomegalia cervical. Usualmente acomete pacientes jovens. Manifestações extranodais na região da cabeça e pescoço são mais comuns em pacientes com anormalidades imunológicas. É uma doença autolimitada e, na maioria dos casos, não há necessidade de tratamento. Para os que requerem tratamento devido à persistência ou piora dos sintomas têm sido tentad… Show more

“…RDD is of unknown etiology, although viral agents such as human herpes virus-6 and Epstein–Barr virus are thought to play a role in the pathogenesis via immune system dysregulation [17,18]. Levine and colleagues detected human herpes virus-6 via in situ hybridization in seven of nine SHML cases, while Luppi and colleagues had demonstrated human herpes virus-6 antigen expression by abnormal histiocytes [19,20].…”

“…RDD typically presents insidiously with generalized lymphadenopathy and a polymorphic histiocytic infiltration of the lymph node sinuses. The cervical lymph nodes are most commonly affected, followed by inguinal, axillary and mediastinal lymph node basins [18]. RDD may mimic a more malignant prognosis; however its clinical course varies from spontaneous regression to progressive lymphadenopathy and prolonged phases of stable disease [18,22].…”
