Core Tip

Core Tip: Extranodal Rosai-Dorfman disease (RDD) is a rare disease and can be misdiagnosed easily. We report an 8-year-old Chinese female case. We performed total surgical resection of the right tibia lesion and allograft transplantation. A good prognosis was confirmed at the 6 mo follow-up. Pain and swelling symptoms were totally relieved, movement range of right knee and ankle return to normal, and there was no clinical evidence of lesion recurrence at last follow up. Our case is the second reported case of osseous RDD without lymphadenopathy in the shaft of tibia of a child.
