OBJECTIVE: To report three patients with isolated Rosai Dorfman disease of the central nervous system. CASE REPORTS: We report two patients with dural-based lesions diagnosed imageologically as meningiomas, and one patient with multiple intraparenchymal lesions diagnosed imageologically as lymphoma. Two patients were males and one was female. All were above 35 years of age with no nodal or other system involvement. The diagnosis was established on surgically excised masses during histopathology. One patient died due to unrelated causes 10 years later and the other two are symptom-free at 21.5- and 11.5-year-follow-up. CONCLUSIONS: Awareness of the entity and consideration in the differential diagnosis of dural-based/intraparenchymal lesions is necessary for diagnosis and prognosis.
