Abstract

Rosai-Dorfman disease (RDD) is a proliferative disorder of histiocytes typically found in nodal sites and commonly observed in females. Patients often present with systemic symptoms such as fever, lymphadenopathy, and weight loss. However, extra-nodal disease has been identified in locations including the skin and subcutaneous tissue. We present a case of a 59-year-old female presenting with abnormal bilateral findings on screening mammography, who was found to have a rare presentation of Rosai-Dorfman disease.
