Abstract
Rosai Dorfman disease also called as Sinus histiocytosis with massive lymphadenopathy is a benign self limiting disorder that commonly involves the lymph nodes. Rosai Dorfman disease( RDD) was first described by Rosai and Dorfman in 1969.There is no definite etiological agent and the lymph nodes may attain large size and may remain enlarged for a long duration. RDD is not confined to a particular race or geographical area, although it is more commonly noted in African areas. RDD is characterized by massive, painless and bilateral enlargement of the lymph nodes more commonly the cervical lymph nodes. We here present a case of a 50-year-old lady suffering from this disease who presented with lymphadenopathy in left axillary region. Fine needle aspiration cytology (FNAC) from the lesions showed abundant benign histiocytes with lymphophagocytosis which was compatible with the diagnosis of RDD. This case is being reported for its rarity in presentation in an elderly female and diagnosing cytologically.
