Abstract

Sinus histiocytosis with massive lymphadenopathy (SHML) is a rare non malignant histiocytic proliferative disorder of unknown etiology presenting with massive lymphadenopathy. These cases can often be misdiagnosed as lymphoma.Very few cases has been diagnosed on FNAC. Here we report 5 cases of  Rosai – Dorfman disease presenting with massive bilateral cervical lymphadenopathy. Hence FNAC is a useful and reliable tool for the diagnosis of Rosai-Dorfman disease due to which biopsy can be avoided in these patients.
