ABSTRACT. We report the first case of extensive involvement of isolated intracranial Rosai-Dorfman's disease (RDD) in a child. Our case is unique because it presents with involvement of the middle cranial fossa, cavernous sinus, pituitary gland, orbit, ethmoid and sphenoid sinuses. Previous cases of intracranial RDD in children have reported separate involvement of cavernous sinus, suprasellar region, and frontal and petroclival regions. Involvement of the pituitary gland has so far not been reported. A 14-year-old male presented with a medical history of loss of vision, raised erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR), and abnormal prolactin and cortisol levels. Radiologically the diagnosis was meningioma. The histopathological diagnosis was RDD with emperipolesis and S-100 positivity. RDD is a histiocytic proliferation of unknown aetiology, which commonly affects lymph nodes. Uncommonly it involves the extranodal sites and rarely the central nervous system (CNS). 80 cases of RDD involving CNS have been reported in the literature, and only 5 were in children. Although the definitive diagnosis of RDD disease is based on the histopathology report, it should be included in the differentials of a lesion mimicking meningioma especially in children.

“…About 80 cases of RDD with intracranial involvement have been reported so far 4 . Isolated intracranial RDD is even rarer, with a total number of around 40 cases in the English literature 2 . The majority of the intracranial RDD were reported as solitary dural‐based masses, but during last 10 years, different appearances of intracranial RDD have been identified, including multiple dural‐based masses, diffuse leptomeningeal spreading, intraventricular mass, cerebral mass, cerebellar mass, 3 intracranial mass with orbital extension, 5 and dural‐based mass with skull and extracranial invasion in our case.…”

“…Rosai‐Dorfman disease (RDD), an idiopathic histiocytic proliferation presenting as massive lymphadenopathy, was first described by Rosai and Dorfman in 1969 1 . Extranodal involvement of RDD is less common, while isolated intracranial involvement of RDD is even rarer, with around 40 cases reported so far 2 . The majority of reported intracranial RDD present as solitary dural‐based mass 3 .…”

A 48-year-old woman presented with a growing palpable mass at the left frontal area. The imaging studies and histopathological examination of the mass was consistent with dural-based Rosai-Dorfman disease with unusual transcranial extension. We reported this case not only because of its rarity, but also because of the infiltrative pattern. The infiltrative nature presented in this case may be taken into consideration for surgical treatment of intracranial Rosai-Dorfman disease.

“…Rosai-Dorfman-Destombes disease (RDD) also known as sinus histiocytosis with massive lymphadenopathy (SHML) is a rare disorder characterized by accumulation of histiocytes with phagocytized lymphocytes or plasma cells within affected tissues [1,2]. SHML nomenclature reflects typical disease presentation as a massive painless bilateral cervical lymphadenopathy with fever caused by distorted architecture of lymph nodes and marked dilation of lymphatic sinuses occupied by numerous affected histiocytes as well as lymphocytes [2][3][4][5][6]. However, extranodal forms of disease occur and may present with the absence of lymph node involvement [7,8].…”

Rosai-Dorfman-Destombes (RDD) disease also known as sinus histiocytosis with massive lymphadenopathy is a rare disease characterized by disorder of histiocytes within lymph nodes or other affected tissues. Extranodal forms of disease are even more uncommon. Only small percent of patients present with intracranial extranodal form of disease. Lesion biopsy and characteristic histopathological findings are crucial for definitive diagnosis. Histological findings typically show emperipolesis of affected histiocytes or hyperplastic lymph node sinuses containing enlarged histiocytes with phagocyted intact lymphocytes with specific immunoassay findings of the characteristic histiocytic non-Langerhans cells. Therapy includes various modalities such as surgery, steroids, radiotherapy, and/or chemotherapy. In case of extranodal intracranial form of disease, resection (single or combined with other treatment) was reported as effective. There are only few cases of extranodal intracranial disease in pediatric population described in the world so far. We aimed to provide brief comprehensive review of published cases referring on pediatric extranodal intracranial RDD.
