Isolated Rosai-Dorfman Disease of the Cerebellar Hemisphere as a Rare Diferential Diagnosis of Metastatic Brain Disease. Case Report
Journal Title: Nepal Journal of Neuroscience - Year 2008, Vol 5, Issue 1
Abstract
Sinus Histiocytosis with Massive Lymphadenopathy, or Rosai-Dorfman disease (RDD), is a rare histiocytic proliferative disorder. Generally patients present with massive cervical lymphadenopathy. Intracranial localization is a rare manifestation of RDD. The majority of the cases with intracranial involvement are reported to be with supratentorial, dural-based localization. Only a few cases of the posterior cranial fossa involvement have been reported in the literature. We report a case of isolated cerebellar hemisphere RDD which was initially misdiagnosed as a metastatic brain disease.
