Abstract
Rosai-Dorfman disease is an infiltrative neoplastic process that can manifest with a variety of symptoms based on its location. Rarely, Rosai-Dorfman disease can present as an intracardiac mass or with compression of extracardiac vasculature. When cardiovascular involvement is considered, cardiac MRI can aid in tissue characterization, rule out alternative differential diagnoses, and assess physiological consequences of the mass. We describe the imaging and clinical course of a child with Rosai-Dorfman disease with cardiovascular involvement who exhibited successful response to targeted chemotherapy.
期刊介绍:
Official Journal of the European Society of Pediatric Radiology, the Society for Pediatric Radiology and the Asian and Oceanic Society for Pediatric Radiology
Pediatric Radiology informs its readers of new findings and progress in all areas of pediatric imaging and in related fields. This is achieved by a blend of original papers, complemented by reviews that set out the present state of knowledge in a particular area of the specialty or summarize specific topics in which discussion has led to clear conclusions. Advances in technology, methodology, apparatus and auxiliary equipment are presented, and modifications of standard techniques are described.
Manuscripts submitted for publication must contain a statement to the effect that all human studies have been reviewed by the appropriate ethics committee and have therefore been performed in accordance with the ethical standards laid down in an appropriate version of the 1964 Declaration of Helsinki. It should also be stated clearly in the text that all persons gave their informed consent prior to their inclusion in the study. Details that might disclose the identity of the subjects under study should be omitted.
