Treatment of cutaneous Rosai-Dorfman disease with ALA-PDT combined with low-dose oral corticosteroids: A case report.

Cutaneous Rosai-Dorfman Disease (CRDD), a rare form of Rosai-Dorfman Disease (RDD), lacks established treatment guidelines. In this case report, we detailed a successful case of CRDD management in a 50-year-old woman with facial lesions. Our treatment included 5-aminolevulinic acid photodynamic therapy (ALA-PDT) and low-dose oral corticosteroids. Remarkable improvement was evident after six ALA-PDT courses, and a one-year follow-up confirmed sustained remission. This case highlights the potential of combining ALA-PDT with low-dose corticosteroids as a promising therapeutic strategy for CRDD. Further research is necessary to fully elucidate its mechanisms and effectiveness.
