Abstract

Intracranial Rosai‑Dorfman disease (RDD) is a rare, self‑limiting histiocytic disease of unknown etiology. Extranodal marginal zone lymphoma of the mucosa‑associated lymphoid tissue (MALT lymphoma) is also rare and intracranial RDD complicated by MALT lymphoma is even rarer. The present study reports a case of a 55‑year‑old female who was admitted to The Second Affiliated Hospital of Jiaxing University (Jiaxing, China) with headache for half a month and ptosis of the right eyelid for 4 days. Computerised tomography and magnetic resonance imaging revealed a right parasellar tumor and, subsequently, subtotal resection of the tumor was performed. Postoperative pathology revealed intracranial RDD complicated by MALT lymphoma. The patient received chemotherapy after surgery and achieved good therapeutic effects. After 12 months of follow‑up, the residual tumor disappeared and the ptosis prominently improved. To the to the best of the authors' knowledge, the present case is the first reported case of an adult intracranial RDD complicated by MALT lymphoma.
