A man with leg pain and nasal polyps was diagnosed with Rosai-Dorfman-Destombes disease. This rare condition caused bone lesions, highlighting the importance of considering it in complex diagnoses.

Area of Science:

  • Medical diagnosis
  • Rare diseases
  • Bone pathology

Background:

  • Rosai-Dorfman-Destombes disease (RDD) is a rare, benign proliferative disorder.
  • It typically presents with painless lymphadenopathy and can involve extranodal sites.
  • Differential diagnosis for osteolytic lesions and sinonasal masses can be challenging.

Observation:

  • A 38-year-old male presented with a 2-month history of progressive leg pain.
  • Radiographs revealed multiple osteolytic lesions in both tibial bones.
  • Concurrent presence of nasal polyps was noted.

Findings:

  • Histopathological examination of tibial bone biopsy was inconclusive for malignancy.
  • Biopsy of nasal polyps confirmed Rosai-Dorfman-Destombes disease.

  • This diagnosis explained the observed osteolytic bone lesions.

    • Implications:

    • This case underscores the importance of considering Rosai-Dorfman-Destombes disease in patients with unexplained osteolytic bone lesions and sinonasal symptoms.
    • Early and accurate diagnosis is crucial for appropriate management and to avoid unnecessary investigations for malignancy.
    • Further research into the pathogenesis and treatment of extranodal RDD is warranted.
