Abstract

A case is described of a 37-year-old female patient presented several times with moderate to severe swelling and arthralgies of the small and large joints, accompanied with fevers, cervical and axillary lymphadenopathy, elevated erythrocyte sedimentation rate, hyperglobulinaemia and upper respiratory tract obstruction. The biopsies were performed and the diagnosis of sinus histiocytosis with massive lymphadenopathy (Rosai-Dorfman disease) was established, both in lymph nodes (axillary, forearm and parotid area lymph nodes) and extranodal sites (submucosa of the maxillary sinus). Serum antibody titres against Epstain-Barr virus were elevated. Remissions were achieved by administration of antirheumatics and corticosteroids.
