Abstract :
Rosai–Dorfman disease (RDD) is a benign form of histiocyte
proliferation with unknown etiology that was first described by
Rosai–Dorfman in 1969 (1). RDD is mostly presented with cervical lymphadenopathy, and also involves the extranodal system
including skin, nasal cavity and paranasal sinuses, orbit, upper
respiratory tract, and bone (2). RDD rarely involves the heart.
There are only 19 reported cases of RDD in the literature, with
none involving the right ventricle. In this case, we present RDD
with the parotid gland, mediastinum, and cardiac involvement.
