RDD is characterized by massive lymphadenopathy and sinus histiocytosis [1]. Bilateral cervical lymphadenopathy is the typical presentation, however extra nodal sites have been noted [1]. This case discusses manifestations of a rare disease state. \u0000Case Presentation: \u0000A 19 year old male with a history of eczema and juvenile rheumatoid arthritis presented to the emergency room with four days of diffuse abdominal pain localized to the left upper quadrant, radiation to the right lateral ribs with nausea and diarrhea. He reported an unintentional weight loss of 30 pounds in the last three months. Physical exam revealed generalized abdominal tenderness and rebound. Computed tomography of the abdomen and pelvis (CTAP) along with routine labs were ordered. CTAP showed retroperitoneal lymphadenopathy up to two centimeters in the short axis (figure 1) and mesenteric adenopathy with a 15 millimeter lymph node in the right lower quadrant. Histopathology reported necrotizing granulomatous lymphadenitis with benign sinus histiocytes. Referral to rheumatology was made and treatment was initiated with prednisone 20 milligrams daily with plans for repeat abdominal imaging to evaluate for reduction of adenopathy. \u0000Discussion: \u0000RDD coexists with immunologic disease in 10% of cases.3 It has been associated with systemic lupus erythematous, idiopathic juvenile arthritis, autoimmune hemolytic anemia,24 and one case of RAS-associated autoimmune leukoproliferative disease [1]. The prognosis for RDD is indolent, 50% of patients experiencing resolution, one third with residual asymptomatic adenopathy and 17% with persistent symptomatology [2]. Our case highlights our patient’s associated history of juvenile rheumatoid arthritis now presenting with histological findings of RDD. A methodical approach to assessing patients with diffuse abdominal pain and ensured collaboration amongst different medical specialists will ensure favorable treatment outcomes.","PeriodicalId":220681,"journal":{"name":"Translation: The University of Toledo Journal of Medical Sciences","volume":"73 3","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-12-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"138998865","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

She also complained of right eye pain, blurry vision, and painful eye movement. Ocular examination demonstrated edema, mild proptosis, conjunctival chemosis, and conjunctival injection. Patient was started on bacitracin ointment and ceftriaxone due to concerns of orbital cellulitis. Ophthalmology was consulted, and their assessment was suggestive of bilateral metastatic neoplastic lesion in retina of both eyes, more pronounced in the right than the left eye. Left supraclavicular lymph node biopsy showed metastatic adenocarcinoma, likely of gastrointestinal or pancreaticobiliary primary. MRI brain was suspicious for calvarial metastatic disease, MRI abdomen showed multiple nodules in the liver suggesting metastases, and whole-body nuclear medicine bone scan suggested possible metastases in the hemithorax and bilateral femurs. After several goals of care discussions, the decision was made by the patient and her family to pursue comfort measures only and she was discharged home with home hospice and later passed away. \u0000 \u0000Conclusion \u0000Retinal metastasis is a rare condition due to the absence of lymphatic system in the eye (1). The most common primary tumors to metastasize to the eye are from breast (47%), lung (21%), and the gastrointestinal tract (4%) (2). In some cases, patients may have no other symptoms (1). Thus, retinal metastasis is important to include in the differential diagnosis, especially for patients with a history of treated primary cancer.","PeriodicalId":220681,"journal":{"name":"Translation: The University of Toledo Journal of Medical Sciences","volume":"84 5","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-12-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139000525","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
