Abstract

Disease Cutaneous Rosai-Dorfman (CRDD) is a rare entity that is characterized by histiocytic proliferation in the skin. The diagnosis of primary cutaneous disease is often challenging and significantly delayed due to the non-specific nature of its histologic and clinical features. Here we reported a case of CRDD with one red plaque on the cheek, and the biopsy revealed histiocytic infiltration with emperipolesis, in order to familiarize pathologists and dermatopathologists with the clinicopathologic correlation of primary cutaneous Rosai-Dorfman disease and to help facilitate early diagnosis.
