Rosai-Dorfman disease
Diagnosis in short

Rosai-Dorfman disease. H&E stain.

LM sinus histiocytosis - histiocytes have a singular large round nucleus with a prominent nucleolus (visible with 10x objective); emperipolesis
IHC CD68 -ve, S-100 +ve, CD1a -ve
Site lymph nodes - see lymph node pathology

Prevalence rare

Rosai-Dorfman disease, abbreviated RDD, is a rare lymph node pathology.

It is also known as sinus histiocytosis with massive lymphadenopathy,[1] abbreviated SHML.

General

  • Super rare.
  • Prognosis - good.

Clinical findings:[2]

  • Fever.
  • Leukocytosis with neutrophilia.
  • Polyclonal gammaglobulinemia.

Microscopic

Features:

  • Sinus histiocytosis:
    • Histiocytes - abundant.
      • Singular large round nuclei[3] ~2x the size of resting lymphocyte.
        • Prominent nucleolus - visible with 10x objective.
      • Abundant cytoplasm.
  • Emperipolesis (from Greek: em = inside, peri = around, polemai = wander about[4]):
    • Histiocytes contain other whole cells: neutrophils, lymphocytes, plasma cells.
      • The "eaten" cell is within a vacuole;[5] thus, it should have a clear halo around it.
      • Thought to be related to peripolesis; the attachment of a cell to another.[6]
