RESUMEN
BACKGROUND: Although intracranial Rosai-Dorfman disease is a principally benign lymphohistiocytosis, some patients run a relapsing or progressive course. However, reports about long-term follow-up are extremely rare. CASE DESCRIPTION: In two patients, initial tumor resection was incomplete or followed by recurrences over 3 years, which finally subsided after application of chemotherapy, and patients remained tumor-free for more than 7 years thereafter. CONCLUSION: Up to now there is no agreement on how to treat complicated cases of intracranial Rosai-Dorfman disease; our good experience with adjuvant chemotherapy and long-term follow-up will contribute to treatment planning in complicated cases.
