Maladie de Rosai-Dorfman à révélation cutanée : 7 observations

Few RDD series have been published and they mainly concern Asian patients. The ethnic origin of our patients was varied. The main findings were: 1) common clinical findings (orange or erythematous papules or nodules, mostly on the upper body), which should alert the dermatologist and histopathologist to the possible diagnosis of RRD; 2) the possibility, already mentioned in the literature, of spontaneous regression and a good prognosis; 3) the need for thorough evaluation by thoracic, abdominal and cerebral CT (computed tomography) or more a PET (positron emission tomography) scan to screen for potentially dangerous visceral sites, and also clinical follow up.
