Extranodal Rosai-Dorfman disease masquerading as intrathoracic invasive malignancy with ankylosing spondylitis: a case report
Our report emphasizes the importance of considering RDD in the differential diagnosis of invasive thoracic malignancies. Thoracoscopy or mediastinoscopy biopsy can improve diagnostic accuracy. Our study contributes to an improved understanding among clinicians regarding the diagnosis and treatment of intrathoracic RDD and provides relevant evidence for future exploration of potential associations between RDD and ankylosing spondylitis.
