Primary Rosai-Dorfman Disease in 39-Year-Old Woman With Osseous Tibial Lesion Manifestion: A Case Report and Literature Review

Rosai-Dorfman disease (RDD), otherwise known as sinus histiocytosis with massive lymphadenopathy (SHML), is a very rare and typically benign disorder of unknown etiology with <10% bone involvement. The report is of a case seen at the authors’ hospital of a patient presenting with several months’ onset unspecified nontraumatic ankle pain. There was no physical mass or lymphadenopathy appreciated on examination. Plain radiographs and magnetic resonance images demonstrated an osteolytic lesion at the medial malleolus. Biopsy revealed the diagnosis of intraosseous manifestation of Rosai-Dorfman disease.
