Sinus histiocytosis with massive lymphadenopathy (SHML) is a newly recognized, distinct, pseudolymphomatous benign entity with very characteristic microscopic features. Most patients are children or young adults with massive painless cervical adenopathy, although other node groups and extranodal sites often are involved. Sixteen patients with SHML involving the upper respiratory tract and/ or salivary gland are presented. Nine of the patients had ear, nose, and throat (ENT) manifestations at the time of presentation. In most cases the ENT involvement resulted in prominent clinical symptoms. Treatment included surgery, antibiotics, irradiation, chemotherapy, and steroids, frequently in combination, but no consistent pattern of response emerged from the study. These 16 patients were very similar clinically to patients with SHML who did not have ENT disease, indicating that extranodal involvement is not associated with more aggressive disease.

Sinus histiocytosis with massive lymphadenopathy involving organs other than the lymph nodes is a rare event. A case of SIIML presenting with multiple skin and subcutaneous nodules and multiple osteolytic lesions is described. A search of the Indian literature revealed many cases of nodal SIIML, but none of the reported cases had prominent extranodal involvement.

A 37-year-old Bangladeshi presented with large bilateral masses involving the hilus of the kidneys. No lymphadenopathy was noted. Nephrectomy was performed. Histopathologically, it revealed a lymphohistiocytic and plasma cell inflammatory tumoral proliferation with characteristic lymphophagocytosis by the S100-positive-CD1-negative histiocytes. Extranodal presentation of sinus histiocytosis with massive lymphadenopathy (Rosai-Dorfman disease) should be entertained in the differential diagnosis of bilateral masses involving the kidneys.

We report the histological findings seen in the lymph nodes draining the sites of large joint prostheses. Two patients underwent multiple prosthetic joint replacements. In one patient, the regional lymph nodes were enlarged during the revision of a total hip prosthesis, and a representative lymph node was resected. The other patient had undergone a pelvic lymph node dissection as part of a staging procedure for prostatic carcinoma. By light microscopy, the lymph nodes from both patients showed markedly dilated nodal sinuses filled with macrophages containing abundant eosinophilic, PAS-positive, granular material. Polarization microscopy revealed needle-like particles within the cytoplasm of the macrophages. We believe that the histological appearance of the lymph nodes represents a florid foreign body reaction to fragments of polyester or polyethylene derived from the articulating surfaces of the joint prostheses and transported to the regional lymph nodes via the lymphatic circulation. Sinus histiocytosis seen in the lymph nodes draining the sites of joint prostheses may resemble, and must be distinguished from, other conditions invoking a sinus pattern of lymphadenopathy, as well from benign and malignant diseases that involve the lymph nodes in a pattern mimicking sinus histiocytosis.

The association of adenopathies, having sometimes a tumoral aspect, and a polyclonal hypergammaglobulinemia in the blood can be observed in various illnesses. In all these diseases the increase in the volume of the lymph nodes is partly due to the hyperplasia of the lymphoid B regions. Lymph node biopsy allows a precise diagnosis to be made, providing a thorough analytical study of the histopathological lesions is performed. In this first part, the histopathological lesions of benign lymphadenitis, having a pseudo-tumoral aspect from a clinical view, are described. The following are thus successively studied: sarcoidosis; acquired toxoplasmosis; the various aspects which can be attributed to infectious mononucleosis; vaccinal reactions; the Destombes-Rosai-Dorfman syndrome or massive lymphadenopathy by sinusal histiocytosis with hemophagocytosis; angiofollicular lymphoid hyperplasia or pseudo-tumour of Castleman; angio-follicular and plasmocytic polyadenopathy; the adenopathies of collagenosis and those due to protein deposits. For each disease, the morphological data are discussed and compared to clinical state and biological modifications.

We describe one case of Rosai-Dorfman disease (RDD) localized in the breast and one case of breast malacoplakia (MPK) both diagnosed by fine-needle aspiration cytology (FNAC). In RDD the cytologic features were lymphocytophagocytosis, large histiocytes with slight nuclear atypia, and lymphohistiocytic aggregates in a polymorphous background which included frequent plasma cells. In MPK the key diagnostic feature was the presence of Michaelis-Gutmann bodies (M-G bodies), in various stages of evolution, intermingled with vacuolized medium-sized histiocytes, other inflammatory cells, and debris. Pap staining is the technique of choice to show lymphocytophagocytosis and M-G bodies and there is no need to resort to special staining methods. RDD and MPK share a common cytologic background: the presence of numerous benign reactive histiocytes, either engulfing apparently intact lymphocytes, or phagocytizing M-G bodies. The cytologic findings seen in both cases suggest that the presence of histiocytes in a breast aspirate is far from being nonspecific and can represent an important lead to disparate diseases such as RDD and MPK.

Sinus histiocytosis with massive lymphadenopathy (SHML/Rosai-Dorfman disease) has, on rare occasions been identified as an isolated phenomenon in lymph nodes affected by malignant lymphomas. The Registry includes four cases of SHML in patients with non-Hodgkin's lymphomas and one with multiple myeloma. SHML has more recently been recorded as a focal finding in lymph nodes involved by Hodgkin's disease of the mixed cellularity type. We report two patients presenting with lymphadenopathy caused by involvement by nodular lymphocyte predominant Hodgkin's disease with focal changes of SHML, an association not previously recorded in the literature. Responsiveness of the histiocytic cells of SHML to B-cell derived cytokines is postulated as a mechanism for this phenomenon, an hypothesis previously raised in regard to the association of focal Langerhans cell histiocytosis with Hodgkin's disease and with non-Hodgkin's lymphomas.

Rosai-Dorfman disease, or sinus histiocytosis with massive lymphadenopathy (SHML), is a benign, self-limited pseudolymphomatous entity with characteristic histologic features. The disease may be atypically present in the absence of detectable nodal involvement. This is a case of nasal septum involvement of Rosai-Dorfman disease without clinically apparent lymphadenopathy.

This report documents an unusal case of extranodal sinus histiocytosis (Rosai-Dorfman disease) which produced a solitary intracranial mass lesion that was diagnosed clinically and radiologically as a meningioma. Morphological features have been described and literature extensively reviewed.

Sinus histiocytosis with massive lymphadenopathy (SHML) is an uncommon disorder that typically manifests as systemic symptoms and lymphadenopathy. Extranodal, intracranial disease is uncommon. The authors report on a 15-year-old adolescent girl who had a suprasellar mass at magnetic resonance imaging. Biopsy results demonstrated lymphophagocytosis consistent with a diagnosis of SHML. The clinical, radiologic, and histologic aspects of the disease are discussed.
