Meningeal Rosai-Dorfman disease, a type of sporadic Rosai-Dorfman disease, is a rare occurrence. A few cases are reported in the English literature with an adequate immunohistochemical workup. This entity clinically and radiologically mimics either a meningeal or a parenchymal neoplasm with meningeal extension, warranting a thorough histopathologic evaluation. A broad histologic differential necessitates a detailed immunohistochemical characterization to render a correct diagnosis that has significant therapeutic and prognostic implications. Herein, we report a case of isolated meningeal Rosai-Dorfman disease in a 50-years-old human immunodeficiency virus-positive male patient with an emphasis on the histopathology, immunoprofile, and differential diagnoses.
