Rosai-Dorfman disease, or sinus histiocytosis with massive lymphadenopathy (SHML), is a benign, self-limited pseudolymphomatous entity with characteristic histologic features. The disease may be atypically present in the absence of detectable nodal involvement. This is a case of nasal septum involvement of Rosai-Dorfman disease without clinically apparent lymphadenopathy.
