Abstract

Rosai-Dorfman Disease is a rare condition that can manifest in almost any part of the body. It commonly presents as intranodal disease, with less common extra-nodal involvement tending to occur in the head and neck region. We present a case of Rosai-Dorfman Disease involving the external acoustic meatus in a patient and will detail its imaging and clinical features. We will also discuss its imaging characteristics and compare them to other common conditions such as otitis externa and squamous cell carcinoma. In doing so, we hope to provide more information about this rare disease.
