Maxillofacial Rosai–Dorfman disease in a newly diagnosed HIV-infected patient

Fatal histiocytic proliferative disorders in paediatric HIV infection with cytomegalovirus end‐organ disease

“…Involvement of abdominal organs (liver, spleen, kidneys) is rare (<3%) and associated with progressive, non‐remitting disease (McClain et al , 2004). Four cases of HIV infection associated with RDD have been reported in the literature, none in children (Delacretaz et al , 1991; Dickson‐Gonzalez et al , 2008; Perry et al , 1998). Persistent infection with herpes viruses has been implicated in pathogenesis (McClain et al , 2004).…”

Rosai-Dorfman Disease With Widespread Oral-Maxillofacial Manifestations: A Case Report

“…The microscopic differential diagnosis will confirm the physical observations and can include Langerhans' cell histiocytosis, Hodgkin disease, non-Hodgkin lymphoma, metastatic carcinoma, and metastatic malignant melanoma. 11 Thus, microscopic and immunohistochemical assessments are of critical importance. Emperipolesis or lymphophagocytosis is an important microscopic aspect, but this phenomenon may be less prominent in extranodal disease, specifically in lesions with excessive or older fibrosis, such as in the present case.…”

“…2,4,[8][9][10] A review of the English-language literature from 1969 to 2011 using the MEDLINE database showed only 7 well-documented cases of the RDD affecting the maxilla (Table 1). [6][7][8][9][10][11][12] The research was conducted using the terms Rosai-Dorfman-disease, sinus histiocytosis, oral manifestation, and maxilla. The purpose of this article was to report an additional rare occurrence of extranodal RDD with maxillary involvement and to review cases with maxillary involvement previously reported in the literature.…”

Radiotherapy for Steroid-Resistant Laryngeal Rosai–Dorfman Disease

“…Extranodal rdd of the larynx has been documented in the literature [8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18] . In these cases, treatment was initiated because of symptoms such as stridor, dysphagia, dysphonia, and dyspnea because of a laryngeal lesion.…”
