ABSTRACT
INTRODUCTION AND IMPORTANCE Rosai-Dorfman disease (RDD) is a rare disorder characterized by benign histiocytic proliferation. The purely cutaneous variant of Rosai-Dorfman disease is exceptionally uncommon. This abstract centers on an extraordinary case-an instance of primary cutaneous Rosai-Dorfman disease (PCRDD), a rare cutaneous variant within an already infrequent disorder. Successfully managed through surgical intervention, this unique case underscores the pressing need for refined diagnostic and therapeutic strategies. CASE REPORT We present a noteworthy case of primary cutaneous Rosai-Dorfman disease (PCRDD) in a north African female, deviating from the typical age of onset. The patient exhibited a rare cutaneous variant, emphasizing the need for heightened awareness in diverse demographics. Histological analysis revealed characteristic emperipolesis and immunohistochemical features consistent with RDD. CLINICAL DISCUSSION:
PCRDD, although uncommon within the Rosai-Dorfman Disease spectrum, manifests with a later onset and distinctive demographic characteristics. Surgical excision emerges as a viable therapeutic option for managing symptomatic lesions, as demonstrated in our case. The infrequency of PCRDD underscores the importance of tailored diagnostic and therapeutic strategies. Individualized approaches become pivotal in addressing the complexities associated with PCRDD, ensuring careful consideration of its intricacies in the broader context of Rosai-Dorfman disease.CONCLUSION:
This case underscores the complexity of RDD, especially in rare cutaneous presentations. Surgical excision, with its reported efficacy, stands as a crucial intervention, offering both symptomatic relief and potential cure, showcasing the significance of individualized care in managing this rare disorder. Continued research remains imperative for advancing RDD understanding and refining clinical approaches.
