*Abbreviated ''RDD''.
*Abbreviated ''RDD''.
===General===

*Super rare.
*Prognosis - good.
 
Clinical findings:<ref name=pmid19668942>{{Cite journal  | last1 = Landim | first1 = FM. | last2 = Rios | first2 = Hde O. | last3 = Costa | first3 = CO. | last4 = Feitosa | first4 = RG. | last5 = Rocha Filho | first5 = FD. | last6 = Costa | first6 = AA. | title = Cutaneous Rosai-Dorfman disease. | journal = An Bras Dermatol | volume = 84 | issue = 3 | pages = 275-8 | month = Jul | year = 2009 | doi =  | PMID = 19668942 }}</ref>
*Fever.
*Leukocytosis with neutrophilia.
*Polyclonal gamaglobulinemia.
 
===Microscopic===
Features:
*Sinus histiocytosis:
**Histiocytes - abundant.
***Singular large round nuclei<ref>Bailey, D. 24 August 2010.</ref> ~2x the size of resting lymphocyte.
****Prominent nucleolus - visible with 10x objective.
***Abundant cytoplasm.
*Emperipolesis (from ''Greek'': ''em'' = inside, ''peri'' = around, ''polemai'' = wander about<ref>Stedman's Medical Dictionary. 27th Ed.</ref>):
**Histiocytes contain other whole cells: neutrophils, lymphocytes, plasma cells.
***The "eaten" cell is within a vacuole;<ref>{{cite journal |author=Viswanathan P, Raghunathan K, Majhi U, Pandit RV, Shanthi R, Rajkumar T|title=Emperipolesis : an electron microscopic characteristic in RDD (Rosai-Dorfaman disease) : a case report |volume= |issue=1|pages=14-6 |year=1997 |month= |pmid= |doi= |url=http://www.ijmpo.org/article.asp?issn=0971-5851;year=1997;volume=18;issue=1;spage=14;epage=16;aulast=Viswanathan;type=0}}</ref> thus, it should have a clear halo around it.
***Thought to be related to ''peripolesis''; the attachment of a cell to another.<ref name=pmid1577151>{{cite journal |author=Lyons DJ, Gautam A, Clark J, ''et al.'' |title=Lymphocyte macrophage interactions: peripolesis of human alveolar macrophages |journal=Eur. Respir. J. |volume=5 |issue=1 |pages=59–66 |year=1992 |month=January |pmid=1577151 |doi= |url=}}</ref>
 
DDx:
*Other histiocytosis:
**[[Langerhans cell histiocytosis]].
**[[Erdheim-Chester disease]].
*Infection, e.g. [[rhinoscleroma]] (nasopharynx), [[xanthogranulomatous pyelonephritis]].
*Xanthomatous change.

===IHC===
*CD68 +ve.
*S100 +ve.
**Useful for seeing emperipolesis.
*CD1a -ve.
**CD1a positive in Langerhans cell histiocytosis.
