ABSTRACT
Rosai Dorfman Disease also known as Sinus Histiocytosis with massive lymphadenopathy is a very rare and benign self-limiting histiocytic proliferative disorder with unknown etiology. It typically manifests as massive painless bilateral cervical lymphadenopathy with or without extranodal involvement. It is mostly seen in young adults and children with a slight predilection for males. Clinically patients may be mistaken for lymphoma and other infectious disorders like tuberculosis which is more prevalent in developing countries like in India. Here we report a case of 40 yrs male who presented with massively enlarged cervical lymph nodes mimicking lymphoma. FNAC was performed and the patient was diagnosed with Rosai Dorfman Disease. This case is being reported for its rarity and its presentation in middle aged man.
Key words: Rosai Dorfman Disease, Sinus Histiocytosis, emperipolesis, massive lymphadenopathy.
