Rosai–Dorfman disease (RDD) is a rare non-Langerhans cell histiocytosis that was first described as sinus histiocytosis with massive lymphadenopathy by Rosai and Dorfman in 1969. While classical/nodal RDD is typical, extranodal involvement is seen in up to 43% of all cases, with 23% showing only extranodal lesions. Here, we present a case of disseminated extranodal RDD, where the initial symptoms were cutaneous manifestations.

We report a pediatric patient with acquired cold urticaria who developed a systemic reaction triggered by localized cold exposure. By determining the critical threshold temperature using TempTest®, we were able to minimize restriction in activities.
