Rosai-Dorfman disease (RDD) manifesting as a solitary osseous lesion especially of talus bone is rare. The authors reported a 31-year-old Thai
man who had chronic left ankle pain and the biopsy of his talar lesion demonstrated emperipolesis, the typical histological feature of RDD. He was
treated with curettage and adjuvant bisphosphonate and appeared to show improvement in clinical symptoms and radiological evidence. To the
authors’ knowledge, this is the first report of an intraosseous RDD lesion treated with bisphosphonate with imaging follow-up.
