title: Relapsing bilateral uveitis and papilledema in sinus histiocytosis with massive lymphadenopathy (Rosai-Dorfman disease).
abstract: Sinus histiocytosis with massive lymphadenopathy (Rosai-Dorfman disease) is a non-hereditary histiocytic proliferative disorder affecting young people, with extranodal manifestations in 28-43% of cases. Eye involvement is infrequent. Lymphoproliferation in the soft tissues of the orbit and in the lids has been reported in 12% of cases but intraocular involvement is rare. We describe the case of a 12-year-old boy affected by Rosai-Dorfman disease with bilateral relapsing uveitis and papilledema that appeared four years before the onset of lymphadenopathy.
