Abstract
Context.—
Rosai-Dorfman disease is a rare histiocytic proliferative disorder of unknown pathogenesis that may be diagnostically difficult in extranodal sites. It is commonly an unsuspected diagnosis when arising in bone and soft tissue, especially when it presents without associated lymphadenopathy. Its variable clinical presentation and nonspecific imaging findings make the diagnosis quite challenging, particularly in small biopsies. The problem is compounded by its less-characteristic histomorphologic features in comparison with nodal disease. Awareness of the potential diagnostic pitfalls in Rosai-Dorfman disease of bone and soft tissue should raise the degree of diagnostic accuracy.
Objective.—
To review the clinical manifestations, imaging characteristics, and histomorphologic features of Rosai-Dorfman disease of bone and soft tissue along with a brief discussion of its differential diagnosis, pathogenesis, and current management.
Data Sources.—
Thorough review of the literature with focus on clinical manifestations, imaging findings, key histomorphologic features, pathogenesis, and treatment.
Conclusions.—
The diagnosis of Rosai-Dorfman disease of bone and soft tissue may be quite challenging because of its variable clinical presentation and nonspecific imaging findings. It may be asymptomatic without systemic manifestations or associated lymphadenopathy. The definitive diagnosis relies on histopathologic identification of the characteristic S-100–positive histiocytes demonstrating emperipolesis. Bone and soft tissue lesions tend to have lower numbers of characteristic histiocytes and less conspicuous emperipolesis and often demonstrate areas of fibrosis or storiform spindle cell areas resembling fibrohistiocytic lesions. Awareness of these unusual features is necessary in order to consider Rosai-Dorfman disease in the differential diagnosis when confronting these rare and often misleading lesions.

Primary cutaneous Rosai-Dorfman disease; a case-based review of a diagnostically and therapeutically challenging rare variant. Ann Diagn Pathol 2019; 45:151446.

Abstract
Primary cutaneous Rosai-Dorfman disease is a rare form of Rosai-Dorfman disease limited to the skin. The diagnosis of primary cutaneous disease is based on a combination of clinical presentation, histopathology, and the detection of S100+, CD68+, and CD1a- histiocytic immunophenotyping. However, the diagnosis of primary cutaneous disease is often difficult and significantly delayed due to the non-specific nature of its histologic and clinical features. In this review, we describe four cases in order to familiarize pathologists and dermatopathologists with the clinicopathologic correlation of primary cutaneous Rosai-Dorfman disease and to help facilitate early diagnosis. In addition, we discuss the proposed pathophysiology and molecular etiology of this tumor, and its relationship with IgG4 sclerosing disease.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Cutaneous Rosai-Dorfman (CRD) disease is a rare entity that is characterized by histiocytic proliferation in the skin. The disease has been reported to exhibit different clinical profiles and occasionally confounding histologic features that may be challenging for a correct diagnosis. The purpose of this study was to assess the pathobiology and highlight the variance in clinical and histologic spectrum of the disease based on published literature. METHODS A PUBMED search was performed to retrieve cases of cutaneous Rosai-Dorfman disease published in the literature. A PRISMA-guided review of the included articles was performed. Three interesting case reports from our institution are also described. RESULTS A total of 263 patients, of which 220 with purely cutaneous disease were identified in 152 studies. The mean age at presentation was 45.2 years with a slight female preponderance, and East-Asian, Caucasian and African populations being largely affected. Majority of the patients presented with multiple lesions, predominantly on limbs and comprising of nodules, plaques and papules that were occasionally pigmented. The classis histologic findings included large foamy histiocytes, exhibiting emperipolesis and a specific immunophenotype (S100+, CD68+, CD1a-). Inconspicuous emperipolesis, fibrosis, increased vascularity, neutrophilic microabscesses and concurrent langerhans cell histiocytosis and lymphoma in few cases highlighted the importance of immunohistochemistry for a definitive diagnosis. The disease shows an indolent and benign course with excision and chemotherapy being most effective for extensive and refractory cases. CONCLUSIONS This review of largest cohort of CRD patients provides an updated insight into the clinicopathologic features with possible diagnostic pitfalls and effective therapeutic options that should be useful in diagnosis, management and future research opportunities.

Abstract
Rosai-Dorfman (-Destombes) disease (RDDD) is a rare idiopathic disorder of histiocyte proliferation, usually involving lymph node stations. The most common clinical finding is a bilateral cervical lymphadenopathy, fever, and weight loss. Arterial or venous structures are notably not involved. We hereby present a case of a 78-year-old Caucasian man, presenting with symptoms of progressive arterial insufficiency and right lower-limb edema, along with a nonpulsatile mass at the middle third of the thigh. Initial diagnostic hypothesis was a superficial femoral artery aneurysm thrombosis with a secondary postcompressive superficial femoral vein thrombosis. Duplex examination showed right superficial femoral arterial and venous thrombosis, along with a hypoechogenic mass causing compression of the neurovascular bundle. Suspecting a connective tissue sarcoma, computed tomography scan was performed after combined en bloc removal of the mass along with femoral artery and vein and prosthetic reconstruction of vascular continuity. Histopathology diagnosis was connective tissue RDDD. The atypical presentation of this rare syndrome induces us to include in differential diagnosis, among other more common forms of external compression of the neurovascular bundles, even rare conditions such as these, which generally only involve lymphatic stations.

Abstract
IMPORTANCE Cutaneous Rosai-Dorfman disease (CRDD), a variant of Rosai-Dorfman disease limited to the skin, has a wide range of clinical presentations. Rosai-Dorfman disease is believed to result from an aberrant response to antigens, caused by immunosuppressive macrophages. Macrophage-mediated immunosuppression is also implicated in the pathogenesis of Crohn disease, linking these otherwise unrelated entities. To our knowledge, the coexistence of these disorders has been described in only 2 cases, 1 of them confined to the skin and soft tissue. OBSERVATIONS We present a series of 3 patients who developed purely CRDD in the context of long-standing Crohn disease. Statistical estimates suggested that the association of these 2 disorders is not due to chance (P<.001). CONCLUSIONS AND RELEVANCE Our case series provides the clinical correlate to the pathogenetic parallels between CRDD and Crohn disease. Crohn disease is frequently complicated by various skin manifestations, which may be mimicked by CRDD. Therefore, it may be prudent for clinicians to include CRDD in the list of differential diagnoses when examining skin lesions in patients with Crohn disease.

Abstract
Rosai-Dorfman disease (RDD) is a rare non-Langerhans histiocytosis that usually presents with lymphadenopathy. Although isolated involvement of the CNS was considered to be uncommon, numerous cases have been reported in recent years. For RDD of the CNS, the treatment consists, in general, of surgery. In cases of partial resection or relapse, chemotherapy regimens, corticosteroids, and/or radiotherapy have yielded negative results. The authors describe the case of a 57-year-old man with a history of chronic Q fever who presented with aphasia and partial seizure. Computed tomography of the brain revealed a left frontotemporal lesion that was suggestive of a meningioma. The lesion was partially resected and histopathological evaluation revealed the presence of RDD. Nineteen months later, a Jacksonian seizure prompted MRI evaluation, which disclosed a local recurrence of the tumor. Computed tomography and FDG-PET demonstrated that the RDD involved no other site, but the presence of ileitis, noted on ileoscopy, led to the diagnosis of Crohn disease. Treatment with the purine analog azathioprine was initiated, leading to an objective and sustained response in both the RDD tumor and ileitis over 35 months of follow-up. This case report highlights the potential use of a purine analog in cases of relapsing RDD of the CNS and a possible common defect of macrophage regulation in RDD, Crohn disease, and Q fever.

Abstract
Sinus histiocytosis with massive lymphadenopathy, also known as Rosai-Dorfman disease (RDD), is a rare non-neoplastic pathologic condition that frequently pursues a prolonged clinical course marked by exacerbations and remissions. Cutaneous RDD is even less common than cases involving lymph nodes. We present the case of a patient with long-standing Crohn's disease who developed cutaneous RDD in the forearm.

Abstract
Rosai-Dorfman disease (RDD) with thyroid involvement is extremely rare; we herein present the sixth known case with a review of the previously reported five cases and discuss the clinicopathological characteristics of this entity. RDD with thyroid involvement has occurred only in females with a mean age of 56.3 years, which is significantly different from nodal RDD predominantly seen in young males. Besides this, autoimmune thyroiditis is frequently associated in RDD with thyroid involvement, which raises a suspicion of a common pathogenesis of both entities. RDD with thyroid involvement is commonly misdiagnosed preoperatively as thyroid malignancy with lymph node metastasis, which may lead to overtreatment and postoperative complication. Clinical presentations might be helpful for a preoperative differential diagnosis; while thyroid function, sonography, thyroid isotope scan, and fine needle aspiration have been less useful. All six cases were treated by surgery and complete remission was seen. However, two patients with a preoperative diagnosis of benign disease suffered from hypothyroidism due to total thyroidectomy.

Abstract
Histiocytoses are a heterogeneous group of disorders that are characterized by the proliferation and accumulation of reactive or neoplastic histiocytes. Three classes of histiocytoses have been defined: class I, Langerhans cell disease; class II, non-Langerhans cell histiocytic disease without features of malignancy; and class III, malignant histiocytic disorders. Although the disorders in classes I and II usually have a benign appearance on histology and are commonly non-aggressive and self-healing, some can cause debilitating or even fatal outcomes. Such cases beg the question: what stimulates aggressive behavior of a classically benign disease? New molecular information may now provide insight into the driving force behind many of the aggressive histiocytoses. In this article, we review Langerhans cell disease and seven aggressive histiocytoses that can involve skin, discuss histologic features that may forecast a poor prognosis, and discuss the molecular findings that help to explain the pathophysiology of these aggressive histiocytic disorders.

Abstract
Rosai-Dorfman disease, or sinus histiocytosis with massive lymphadenopathy (SHML), is a rare and self-limiting benign disorder that most commonly involves the cervical lymph nodes. The authors describe two cases of SHML. Fine-needle aspiration of the lymphadenopathy was performed in both patients. Immunocytochemical and histologic features, as the evidence of emperipolesis and S100 protein positivity on immunostaining, were typical of SHML. Fine-needle aspiration cytology plays an important diagnostic role in SHML and may be conclusive in a typical clinical setting. The diagnosis of SHML should be considered in the differential diagnosis of massive, painless cervical lymphadenopathy. Long-term follow-up is necessary to observe the complete regression of the massive lymphadenopathy. However, specific therapy is available and should be limited to patients with compressive symptoms or extranodal disease.

Abstract
Rosai-Dorfman disease (RDD) is an uncommon pathologic condition of unknown ethiology with an idiopathic proliferation of the hystiocytes. It is generally presented with massive bilateral hypertrophy of the cervical lymph nodes. But other lymph nodes may also be involved. Approximately, 30% of these patients have extra nodal mass or lesion with different signs or symptoms depending on localization. We present two male siblings with Rosai-Dorfman disease who have classical cervical lymphadenopathy associated with progressive neurosensorial hearing loss and dural-based intracranial lesions.

Abstract
The mechanisms of induction and maintenance of tolerance in self-reactive T cells in the periphery are poorly understood. Current models assume that successful T cell activation only occurs if ligation of the T cell receptor (signal 1) by antigen presenting cells (APCs) is accompanied by a costimulatory signal (signal 2), and that signal 1 in the absence of signal 2 is either ignored or is tolerizing. However, there is also evidence for the existence of macrophages (M phi) capable of suppressing T cell activation both in vitro and in vivo. The possibility of a more actively induced tolerance exists, in which the M phi itself responds to T cell-mediated signals in a tolerogenic fashion. This would help to resolve the paradox that tissue M phi, which act as scavengers of self-antigen, can also act as professional APCs. The ability of tissue macrophages to actively suppress T cells would further underscore the importance of the innate immune system in regulating adaptive immune responses.

Abstract
AIMS Sinus histiocytosis with massive lymphadenopathy (SHML) or Rosai-Dorfman disease is a rare histiocytic disorder of unknown origin. Immunophenotypically the histiocytes of SHML express intensively the S100 protein and in addition a panel of macrophage-associated antigens. Their exact relationship to either monocytes/macrophages or immune accessory dendritic cells is, however, still controversial. METHODS AND RESULTS In this report recurrent nodal and extranodal manifestations of SHML of a 70-year-old patient were analysed by differential phenotyping using a panel of monoclonal and polyclonal antibodies to macrophage and immune accessory dendritic cell related antigens and by applying nonradioactive in-situ hybridization. CONCLUSIONS We conclude that stimulation of monocytes/macrophages via macrophage colony stimulating factor (M-CSF) leading to immune suppressive macrophages represents a main mechanism for the pathogenesis of SHML. The study further provides evidence for the monocyte/macrophage but not dendritic cell differentiation of SHML histiocytes.

Abstract
Suppressor cells were developed from nylon wool nonadherent CD4(-)8(-)TCRbeta(-) bone marrow cells cocultured with parenchymal liver cells for 2.5 days. The major suppressor cell population consisted of nylon wool/plastic dish-adherent, phagocytic Mac-1(+) CD3(-)4(-)8(-) cells (Ad cells), with 34% of the Ad cells being F4/80(+). These Ad cells suppressed the antigen-specific proliferation of Th1 clones in an MHC-nonrestricted manner. They showed a dose-dependent increase in suppressive activity, with both NO and PGE(2) levels in the culture supernatant rising with Ad cell concentration. OVA-pulsed Ad cells (OVA-Ad cells) were found to stimulate IFN-gamma production, resulting in an elevation of the NO and PGE(2) levels in wells containing OVA-specific Th1 clones. No DNA synthesis by these clones was detected in the absence of N(G)-monomethyl-l-arginine and indomethacin, yet the proliferation of the clone was induced in the presence of these chemicals. As proliferation is inhibited by NO and PGE(2) the Ad cells give the impression that they have no antigen-presenting function. This function is MHC-class-II-restricted. If cells such as Ad cells did actually exist in the hepatic sinusoid, they could by their nature play a major role in inducing the early emerging unresponsiveness of T cells in the liver which we reported in a previous paper.

Abstract
Rosai Dorfman disease (sinus histiocytosis with massive lymphadenopathy (SHML)) is a benign self-limiting disorder that commonly involves the lymph nodes. We reviewed eight cases of this entity aiming to document the cytomorphological features. Of the eight cases, a preoperative diagnosis was suggested in seven cases. Pertinent features included: numerous large histiocytes with prominent emperipolesis (documented by a halo around the cell), fine vacuoles in the cytoplasm and lymphocytes and plasma cells in the background. In some cases the histiocytes showed atypia. In one biopsy-proven case a diagnosis of Hodgkin's was suggested, emphasizing the pitfalls associated with the FNA diagnosis of this lesion.

Abstract
Abstract
Rat T9 glioma cells transfected with the gene for the membrane isoform of macrophage-CSF (mM-CSF) but not for the secreted isoform of M-CSF were directly killed by bone marrow-derived macrophages. Macrophage-mediated cytolysis of the mM-CSF-transfected clone was blocked by using chemical inhibitors of phagocytosis such as iodoacetate, 2-deoxyglucose, gadolinium chloride, and cytochalasin B. In contrast, macrophage-mediated killing of mM-CSF-expressing tumor cells was augmented by the microtubule inhibitor, colchicine. Use of nitric oxide and reactive oxygen intermediate inhibitors failed to alter the macrophage-mediated killing of the mM-CSF-transfected tumor cells. Photomicroscopy, using immunohistochemical staining with the anti-Hck Ab to distinguish macrophages from tumor cells, revealed that phagocytosis began within 2 h after addition of the mM-CSF-bearing tumor cells. Photocinematography confirmed that macrophages first phagocytosized and then lysed the internalized mM-CSF transfectant cells. Using annexin V and acridine orange staining techniques, macrophages phagocytosized living mM-CSF-transfected tumor cells.
