Rosai-Dorfman disease (RDD), known as sinus histiocytosis with massive lymphadenopathy, commonly involves lymph nodes in the neck or mediastinum, although extranodal involvement is observed in approximately 40% of RDD patients. RDD involving only the thymus has rarely been reported. Here, we report a case of RDD originating in the thymus. The lesion was surgically removed, and a cure was finally achieved. There was no recurrence after telephone follow-up for 3 years.
