ABSTRACT Rosai-Dorfman disease (RDD), also known as sinus histiocytosis with massive lymphadenopathy, is an uncommon histiocytic disease with idiopathic etiology and unique pathology. Extra-nodal RDD that occurs in the nasal cavity is extremely unusual and the characteristic clinical features are unknown. Herein, we report a case of nasal septum RDD, with intermittent epistax is from the left nasal cavity, which led to collapse of the nasal bridge. The patient underwent surgical biopsy, and a diagnosis of nasal septum RDD was established. No further treatment was performed. An enlarged mass was found in the second postoperative year which was treated by surgical excision in the third postoperative year. To improve the current diagnostic and therapeutic approach of extra-nodal RDD, we incorporate previous reports from the literature to discuss the pathological characteristics, pathogenesis, clinical manifestations, diagnosis, and therapy for this rare disease.
