Intracranial Rosai Dorfman disease Ó? A rare differential diagnosis of multiple meningiomas: case report

Rosai Dorfman Destombes (RDD) disease is a non-Langerhans histiocytosis.The central nervous system is affected in < 5% of cases.We report the case of a 59-year-old man, who began 8 months before admission with headache, diminished visual acuity in the temporal hemifields, hyposmia, and seizures.Magnetic resonance imaging showed three midline skull-base lesions in anterior, media, and posterior fossae.We performed a complete resection of symptomatic lesions using a bifrontal craniotomy.The histopathological analysis determined RDD, therefore, we started steroid treatment.Our case description is due to the diagnosis and location, one of the rarest reported to date in the literature.

Abstract

Rosai Dorfman Destombes (RDD) disease is a non-Langerhans histiocytosis.The central nervous system is affected in < 5% of cases.We report the case of a 59-year-old man, who began 8 months before admission with headache, diminished visual acuity in the temporal hemifields, hyposmia, and seizures.Magnetic resonance imaging showed three midline skull-base lesions in anterior, media, and posterior fossae.We performed a complete resection of symptomatic lesions using a bifrontal craniotomy.The histopathological analysis determined RDD, therefore, we started steroid treatment.Our case description is due to the diagnosis and location, one of the rarest reported to date in the literature.
