Description

Jianxin Dun and co-authors present a 2025 case report on a rare lymph node disease in a child. Rosai-Dorfman disease swells lymph nodes and lacks one agreed care plan, above all in children, where it is very rare. The child in the report had a neck mass that first tests read as a pus-based growth. Antibiotic care failed to shrink it.

A surgical biopsy then gave tissue enough to name the disease. Care with prednisone and vincristine, a drug pair, shrank the neck mass in a clear way. The mass did not grow back after care stopped, and the child stays in follow-up. The case argues for deep tissue samples when first tests mislead, and it adds a drug pair to the sparse care record.
