Orbital rosai-dorfman disease in a five-year-old boy

Middle East Afr J Ophthalmol. 2011 Oct;18(4):323-5. doi: 10.4103/0974-9233.90138.

Abstract

Rosai-Dorfman disease (RDD) is characterized by histiocytic proliferation and massive cervical lymphadenopathy, although some patients have extra-nodal involvement. We report a case of extranodal RDD in a five-year-old child, initially misdiagnosed as orbital inflammatory disease and treated with oral steroids. A subsequent orbital biopsy three years later confirmed the diagnosis of Rosai Dorfman disease.
