Sinus histiocytosis with massive lymphadenopathy (Rosai-Dorfman disease) is a rare benign disease of unknown etiology presenting with massive lymphadenopathy. We report four cases of this disease retrieved from the archives of cytopathology laboratory, BPKIHS, Dharan, Nepal, during the period of January 2002 to October 2007. The cytologic morphology revealed lymphocytes, plasma cells, and single to multinucleated histiocytes with well preserved lymphocytes in their cytoplasm (emperipolesis or lymphophagocytosis). It is concluded that FNAC is a useful and reliable tool for the diagnosis of sinus histiocytosis with massive lymphadenopathy (Rosai-Dorfman disease) and biopsy can be avoided in these patients, thereby reducing patient inconvenience and health care cost.

“…RDD is characterized by massive, painless cervical lymphadenopathy variably associated with fever, leukocytosis, elevated erythrocyte sedimentation rate and weight loss. RDD of the nervous system has also been reported, and most cases involve the brain [5]. Spinal cord involvement such as intramedullary, intradural and extradural is apparently very rare A preoperative MRI showing a S1/2 level extramedullary lesion with similar isointenseon both sagittal T1-and T2-weighted images (e and f), and slight heterogeneous enhancement on the sagittal (g) and axial (h) after gadolinium administration in RDD [6][7][8][9][10].…”

Background: Rosai-Dorfman disease (RDD) is an idiopathic histiocytic proliferative disorder characterized by sinus histiocytosis and massive lymphadenopathy. Extranodal and central nervous system (CNS) involvement is unusual. We describe two distinctly rare cases of isolated intradural RDD of the spine without cervical lymphadenopathy. Case presentation: We report our experience in the management of two patients with RDD. The first patient had two ventral intradural lesions, radiologically in favour of multiple spinal meningiomas, and the second patient presented an intradural extramedually lesion, extending into the right foramina, suggestive of a sacral perineural cyst. Treatments consisted of total excision and subtotal excision without steroids and radiotherapy, respectively. The definitive diagnosis was confirmed by histopathology and immunochemistry. Conclusions: RDD should be considered in the rare differential diagnosis of a spinal disease. Resection of the lesions is an effective treatment choice to relieve spinal compression symptoms. The efficacy of the adjuvant therapy to control the disease is unknown.

“…In our case, histiocytic-lymphocytic proliferation was evident in several organs including the posterior pituitary, the pars tuberalis, the pituitary stalk and the adjacent dura. Intracranial involvement of Rosai-Dorfman disease is rare; so far only few cases have been reported [13][14][15][16][17][18][19]. To our knowledge, to date, only two cases were published which involved the pituitary.…”
