FDG PET/CT Image for a Rosai-Dorfman Disease With Pituitary and Bone Involvement in a Pediatric Patient

Clin Nucl Med. 2019 Nov;44(11):873-875. doi: 10.1097/RLU.0000000000002776.

Abstract

Rosai-Dorfman disease, also known as sinus histiocytosis with massive lymphadenopathy, is a rare nonneoplastic histiocytic disorder that often involves the lymph nodes and occasionally the central nervous system or skeleton. However, the presence of extranodal Rosai-Dorfman lesions without lymphadenopathy is extremely rare. Here we present a case of a pathological confirmed Rosai-Dorfman disease with pituitary and skeletal involvement without lymph nodes involvement.
