Primary Rosai-Dorfman Disease of Bone: A Report of Two Cases

Abstract EN

Rosai-Dorfman disease (RDD), sometimes known as sinus histiocytosis with massive lymphadenopathy, is a rare histiocytic disorder that most commonly presents as painless, massive cervical lymphadenopathy in young adults.

Extranodal disease can occur in up to 40% of patients but primary involvement of bone is rare.

We present two cases of primary RDD of bone: one case of multifocal osseous RDD presenting as a painful lesion in the elbow, and one case of a solitary osseous lesion presenting as a painful lesion in the wrist.
