Rosai-Dorfman disease with renal involvement and associated autoimmune haemolytic anaemia in a 12-year-old girl: A case report.

Abstract:

BACKGROUND:Rosai- Dorfman Disease (RDD) is a benign condition of unknown aetiology which is characterized by non-neoplastic proliferation of histiocytes. Pathophysiology and natural history remain obscure due to the low prevalence of disease. It is known to present with nodal or extranodal involvement and occurrence in the genitourinary system could lead to dreadful complications. RDD is diagnosed by demonstrating emperipolesis on histology and supported by S100 positivity in immunohistochemistry. Treatment is tailored individually and includes expectant monitoring, steroids, surgery, chemotherapy and radiotherapy. Prognosis will be poor if there is involvement of vital organs. We report a rare case of renal Rosai-Dorfman Disease in a 12-year-old girl which also associated with cold type autoimmune haemolytic anaemia (AIHA). CASE PRESENTATION:A previously healthy, 12-year-old girl presented with low grade fever and cough over one month. On examination, she was pale, mildly icteric and had a firm mass in the left hypochondrial region. Her blood count revealed significant eosinophilia, normocytic normochromic anaemia and thrombocytosis. Further laboratory investigations revealed reticulocytosis, positive urine urobilinogen, positive direct antiglobulin test and red blood cell agglutination on blood picture suggestive of autoimmune haemolytic anaemia. Ultrasound scan of abdomen revealed paraaortic and left side retroperitoneal lymphadenopathy with left renal mass. It was further evaluated by Contrast Enhanced Computed Tomography (CECT). Biopsy was done and that concluded sinus histiocytosis with massive lymphadenopathy (SHML) with positive S100 and CD1a in immunohistochemistry. Child was treated with steroids however there was no significant response as assessed by repeat CT and has been commenced on chemotherapy. CONCLUSION:RDD is believed to be due to host immune dysregulation and precise diagnosis is imperative. It should be considered as differential diagnosis in a child presenting with massive lymphadenopathy and AIHA. Association between RDD and AIHA may possibly be explained by abnormal immune response of the host.
