This study presents patients diagnosed and treated in a "real world" setting, where navigating limited resources must be considered. This retrospective single-center review includes 15 adult patients diagnosed with RDD at Vancouver General Hospital between November 2015 and October 2023. The cohort comprised five males and ten females with a median age 53 years (range 19-80 years). All 15 patients had extra-nodal disease; 11 patients exclusively had extra-nodal disease, and four patients also had lymph node involvement. Seven patients had tissue next-generation sequencing, identifying MAP2K1 mutations in four cases and a KRAS p.K117N mutation in one case that was treated with targeted therapy using trametinib. PET-CT was used for disease staging in four cases. Six patients with refractory disease tolerated lenalidomide and dexamethasone without significant toxicity; three patients achieved complete response, and three had partial response. This study highlights RDD's diverse extra-nodal manifestations. Lenalidomide combined with dexamethasone is an effective and well-tolerated treatment option for select patients, especially those with refractory disease. Broad utilization of NGS and PET-CT can positively influence management decisions.Annals of hematologyRosai-Dorfman-Destombes disease in adults: a single center experience.PMC12376075P30 CA008748R37 CA259260Diamond ELYou XJHarrison RCarruthers MSkinnider BFVarghese JNg TPeterson EChen LYCSlack GWLeung EDutz JYoung STsang PWKStubbins RLim HPryma CBurrell SMurphy SfalseRosai-Dorfman-Destombes disease in adults: a single center experience.Recent advances in Rosai-Dorfman-Destombes disease (RDD), notably molecular testing, targeted therapy, and PET-CT imaging, hold promise for better recognition and improved outcomes.
