Rosai-Dorfman disease

Indian J Pediatr. 2008 Mar;75(3):290-4. doi: 10.1007/s12098-008-0063-0.

Abstract

We describe two cases of Rosai-Dorfman disease. One of them had commonly described cervical adenopathy and the second with the very rare bilateral orbital involvement. Both our cases required treatment with steroids because of the danger of pressure symptoms and disfigurement and multiple episodes of high fever in one of them.
