Br J Radiol. 2006 Oct;79(946):e117-9. doi: 10.1259/bjr/83681836.

Abstract

Rosai-Dorfman disease is a rare, benign histiocytic proliferative disorder which commonly affects the lymph nodes. Extranodal involvement along with concomitant nodal disease occurs in about 43% of cases. Isolated extranodal Rosai-Dorfman disease is relatively uncommon. We report this rare case of isolated extranodal Rosai-Dorfman disease and its ultrasound findings.
