Rosai-Dorfman disease--perianaesthetic concerns.
Rosai-Dorfman Disease (RDD) may be challenging for anesthesiologist in view of its multisystem involvement, specially the airway. We present a patient with RDD scheduled for bilateral rhinotomy and bilateral neck dissection for nasal obstruction and gross bilateral lymphadenopathy. Care should be taken in airway management because of the distortion of airway anatomy by the soft tissue mass with possible intracheal extension of mass. Central venous catheterization should be guided by ultrasonography.
