  Rosai-Dorfman disease (RDD) is a rare histiocytosis that most commonly involves the cervical lymph nodes. Extranodal involvement occurs in 30-40% of cases and most often in the head and neck region. Prognosis is generally excellent.

She presented with right shoulder pain, frontal headache associated with fever and sweating. Computed Tomography scan and Magnetic Resonance Imaging studies demonstrated well-circumscribed lesions in the proximal humerus followed by a similar lesion in the frontal bone of the skull. Microscopic examination revealed variable numbers of pale-staining histiocytes with emperipolesis and background lymphoplasmacytic infiltrate and fibrosis. Immunohistochemical studies revealed positive staining of these histiocytes for S100 and CD6.. View More»
