We describe a 42-year-old woman with progressive dyspnea on exertion resulting from pulmonary artery compression by a mediastinal mass due to extranodal Rosai-Dorfman disease. After initial biopsies were inconclusive, she underwent surgical resection of the mass to relieve the pulmonary artery compression, which was causing severe right ventricular dysfunction. Debulking of the mass required resection and reconstruction of the ascending aorta, pulmonary trunk, and bilateral pulmonary arteries using cardiopulmonary bypass and circulatory arrest. We believe this is the first report of Rosai-Dorfman disease manifesting as compression of the thoracic great vessels.

We present a case of a 33-year-old female with a slow growing, right peribronchial vascular mass and associated symptoms of progressive cough, dyspnea on exertion, and hemoptysis. On routine diagnostic flexible bronchoscopy with needle biopsy, the lesion hemorrhaged extensively requiring emergent thoracotomy, right lower and middle bilobectomy. The histopathology of the specimen was consistent with the rare and unusually located entity Rosai-Dorfman disease.

Sinus histiocytosis with massive lymphadenopathy is also known as Rosai-Dorfman disease (RDD) and is characterized by painless bilateral cervical lymphadenopathy. In the present case report, a 67-year-old Chinese woman presented with a 3-month history of progressive voice hoarseness, progressive dyspnea on exertion and a foreign body sensation. MRI revealed a lesion involving the right side of the paraglottic space. The lesion was totally resected. Based on the histologic features and immunoreactivity for the S-100 protein and CD68, a diagnosis of RDD was made. We described an extremely unique case of RDD that was observed in the paraglottic space and discussed its clinical and histopathologic features, differential diagnoses and treatment options.
