BACKGROUND: Rosai-Dorfman disease (RDD) is a rare non-Langerhans histiocytic disorder with less than 5% central nervous system involvement and is often mistaken for meningioma given the similarity in imaging features. The authors present the unique case of a 44-year-old female who presented with ongoing visual impairment. OBSERVATIONS: A purely suprasellar mass was noted on magnetic resonance imaging and was initially diagnosed as craniopharyngioma. Unexpectedly, the pathology report revealed RDD. LESSONS: To date, only six cases of sellar RDD have been reported, and our case is the first reported with a purely suprasellar presentation. No standard treatment has been established for RDD, and next-generation sequencing may be a promising therapeutic option.
