Abstract
Rosai–Dorfman Disease (RDD), also known as sinus histiocytosis, is included in the group of rare diseases, characterized by proliferation and accumulation of histiocytes in the lymph nodes (lymphadenopathy), most often involving the cervical ganglion chains (nodal form). RDD bone involvement is rare, estimated at 10% of cases, but primary bone involvement (extranodal form), is very rare—2–8%. Usually they are solitary lesions, with multifocal primary bone manifestations being extremely rare. Histopathological analysis is of high value for a correct diagnosis. We present the case of a Caucasian woman, 42 years old, initially treated in another clinic, for an osteolytic tumor formation in the right tibial shaft. An excisional biopsy with bone trepanation was performed, the histopathological diagnosis being the chronic inflammatory tissue. The evolution was atypical, with tumor growth, extraosseous, subcutaneous. A needle biopsy was repeated in our clinic, the result being similar to the original one. Evolution of the tumor, and the radiological and imaging aspect (periosteal reaction, eroded and thin bone cortex) suggested a more aggressive disease, these being in inconsistency with the result obtained. The biopsy was repeated, as an excision type this time. The histopathological result and immunohistochemistry indicated an RDD primary bone lesion. Based on this result, and corroborated with the data from the literature, we initiated the surgical treatment, curettage and grafting with bone substitute plus safety osteosynthesis with locked plaque, the patient registering a favorable evolution. RDD primary bone lesions are in fact an atypical manifestation of a rare disease. The correct diagnosis is very difficult due to the non-specific imaging aspect. Histopathological examination errors, especially in the case of needle biopsies can lead to errors in diagnosis and treatment with negative results for the patient.

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.

Abstract
The non-Langerhans cell histiocytoses (N-LCH) represent a group of rare diseases with different clinical presentations and imaging features to classical LCH. While there is a long list of entities, only few present with musculoskeletal soft tissue and osseous manifestations alongside the more commonly reported systemic findings. Erdheim-Chester disease (ECD) is typically seen in adults as bilateral and symmetrical long bone osteosclerosis. Rosai-Dorfman disease (RDD) is more commonly seen in children and young adults with bone involvement usually being a manifestation of extra-nodal disease. Primary osseous RDD is very rare, with both displaying rather non-specific imaging features of an expansile lucent lesion with or without an extra-osseous component. Juvenile xanthogranuloma (JXG) is a benign disorder typically seen in very young children. The most common imaging manifestation is a dermal or sub-dermal soft tissue mass. This article reviews the musculoskeletal imaging appearances of the commoner N-LCH.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Rosai-Dorfman disease (RDD), or sinus histiocytosis with massive lymphadenopathy, is a benign histiocytic disorder. Extranodal involvement is common, occurring in > 40% of patients, but bone involvement occurs in < 10% of cases. In addition, primary bone RDD is extremely rare. The majority of patients are adolescents and young adults, and the mean age at onset is 20-years-old.
CASE SUMMARY We report an 8-year-old Chinese girl who presented to our hospital with an insidious onset of swelling and pain in the middle shaft of her right tibia for 4 mo. We performed total surgical resection of the right tibia lesion and allograft transplantation. A good prognosis was confirmed at the 6 mo follow-up. Pain and swelling symptoms were totally relieved, range of motion of her right knee and ankle returned to normal, and there was no clinical evidence of lesion recurrence at last follow up. Our case is the second reported case of osseous RDD without lymphadenopathy in the shaft of the tibia of a child.
CONCLUSION Extranodal RDD is a rare disease and can be misdiagnosed easily. Lesion resection and allograft transplantation are an option to treat extranodal RDD in children with good short term result. Pediatric orthopedist should be aware of this rare disease, especially extranodal involvement.

Abstract
Rosai–Dorfman disease (RDD) is usually characterized by painless bilateral cervical lymphadenopathy associated with fever and leukocytosis. Although the disease may occur outside lymphnodes, manifestation of skeletal system occurs in less than 8% of cases. In addition, presentation of this disease in a purely skeletal form without lymph nodes involvement is extremely uncommon. This case report describes a 17-year-old female with a pure skeletal presentation of RDD in the fibula. Trocar biopsy was performed, and immunohistochemical staining using S100 and CD68 was done to confirm the diagnosis.

Abstract
Purpose of Review Rosai-Dorfman disease (RDD) is a rare histiocytic disorder typically presenting as painless cervical lymphadenopathy. Extranodal involvement is common and may also affect bones. Here, we present a patient with typical nodal disease and multifocal bone manifestations. Further, a systematic literature review was performed to better understand the phenotype, clinical course and treatment options of such patients. Recent Findings RDD is a nonmalignant, classically sporadic histiocytosis. Nevertheless, increasing evidence also suggests familial forms of the disease. According to our literature review, bone involvement is exceedingly rare and heterogeneous. Clinical outcome in terms of mortality seems to be favorable in most cases. Currently, therapy strategies include surgical and immunosuppressive treatments, but the optimal treatment of osseous RDD remains to be defined. Summary Patients with osseous RDD may present to rheumatologists with arthralgia or arthritis. Due to the rarity of the disease, diagnosis and treatment remain challenging.

Abstract
We report a 19-year-old man with the rare occurrence of primary osseous Rosai-Dorfman disease (RDD). The patient presented with a painful, solitary, bone marrow-replacing lesion in the distal femur. A diagnosis of chronic osteomyelitis was initially made on tissue from a CT-guided needle biopsy of the lesion; however, the diagnosis of RDD was eventually made after histological and immunohistochemical analysis of material from a subsequent curettage. No lymphadenopathy or other sites of involvement were found on clinical evaluation and PET-CT. To our knowledge, this is the first report of solitary osseous RDD based on systemic staging with PET-CT. We review the clinical, imaging, and histological features of primary osseous RDD, including pitfalls in diagnosis.

Abstract
Although Langerhans cell histiocytosis (LCH) is a familiar entity to most radiologists and to pediatric radiologists in particular, it is but one of a group of disorders caused by the overproduction of histiocytes, a subtype of white blood cells. Other less familiar diseases in this category are Erdheim-Chester disease (ECD), juvenile xanthogranuloma (JXG), Rosai-Dorfman disease (RDD), and hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis (HLH). This review describes the classification system, clinical manifestations, and pathophysiology of each disease, with particular attention to differential radiographic findings, including typical locations of involvement and varying appearances at radiography, computed tomography, magnetic resonance imaging, ultrasonography, and nuclear medicine imaging. Although LCH has a wide variety of manifestations and appearances, classic imaging findings include vertebra plana, skull lesions with a beveled edge, the "floating tooth" sign, bizarre lung cysts, and an absent posterior pituitary bright spot with infundibular thickening. The classic imaging findings of ECD are a perirenal rind of soft tissue and patchy long bone osteosclerosis. RDD has more nonspecific imaging findings, including lymphadenopathy (most commonly cervical) and intracranial lesions. Imaging findings in HLH are broad, with the most common abnormalities being hepatosplenomegaly, cerebral volume loss, and periventricular white matter abnormalities. JXG can manifest at imaging, but radiology does not play a major role in diagnosis. Familiarity with these disorders and their associated imaging findings facilitates correct and timely diagnosis. Imaging also features prominently in the assessment of treatment response.

Abstract
Sinus histiocytosis with massive lymphadenopathy (SHML) or Rosai–Dorfman disease is a non-neoplastic condition which typically presents as massive, bilateral cervical lymphadenopathy and can involve multiple extranodal organ systems such as skin, eyes, and upper respiratory tract in about 28% cases. Bone lesions in association with nodal disease are seen in less than 10% cases. Isolated bone involvement as the only manifestation of SHML is extremely rare, with less than 50 cases reported in the literature. We report a very uncommon case of Rosai–Dorfman disease with isolated multifocal osseous involvement as the only presenting feature, involving about 10 different sites with no lymphadenopathy or other organ system involvement.

Abstract
Rosai-Dorfman disease (RDD) is a rare, sporadic histiocytic disorder characterized by painless but protracted lymphadenopathy. Its etiology remains unclear. The observation of congenital disease and reports of familial cases with seven pairs of siblings including three sets of identical twins suggests a genetic predisposition in some patients with this condition. We now report two brothers of consanguineous Palestinian parents, whose lymphadenopathy, lymph node histology, and polyclonal hypergammaglobulinemia indicated RDD. The presence of intrauterine fractures, short stature, and sensorineural hearing impairment suggested a rare familial form of the disorder. Moynihan et al. recently described a Pakistani family with a familial histiocytic disorder highly reminiscent of the brothers reported here, whose lymph node morphology was apparently consistent with RDD as well. The presence of sensorineural deafness, short stature, and joint contractures, however, suggested a separate, rare autosomal recessive syndrome referred to as Faisalabad histiocytosis, after the family's place of origin. We believe that the brothers described here represent a second family with Faisalabad histiocytosis, which mimics RDD histologically.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Extranodal involvement in sinus histiocytosis with massive lymphadenpathy (SHML) or Rosai-Dorfman disease is common, seen in 43% of cases. We present a case of disseminated form of SHML with thyroid, renal, bone and lung involvement. EXEGESIS A 53-year-old woman presented with cervical lymphadenopathy and a large palpable mass in the submandibular area. A thyroid nodule was palpable. Laboratory data showed an increase of the erythrosedimentation rate and a polyclonal hypergammaglobulinemia. Histopathological examination of a cervical lymph node biopsy showed typical features of SHML. CT scan showed enlargement mediastinal lymph node, mass of the right lung and infiltrative mass in the right renal hilium. Radiographs revealed lytic lesions in the right proximal tibia and left patella. Histopathology of a biopsy from the kidney mass and thyroidectomy displayed typical characteristics of SMHL. The patient was treated by steroids with a markedly regression of the kidney and renal masses. CONCLUSION Multiple extranodal involvement in SMHL is rare, the prognosis may be poor when lesions are massive and involve vital organs.

Abstract
Rosai-Dorfman disease is a rare entity predominantly affecting children and young adults, characterized in 83-95% of cases by painless bilateral cervical lymphadenopathy. We report the unusual case of a 41-year-old woman with Rosai-Dorfman disease that presented as a solitary lesion of the radius without other clinical manifestations.
