Rosai-Dorfman disease (RDD) is a nonmalignant disease of histiocyte proliferation. RDD usually presents with painless cervical lymphadenopathy, although extranodal involvement can occur. Cardiac involvement was reported in <0.1% of cases. We present a case of cardiac RDD with obstruction at the inferior vena cava-right atrial junction.
