Retroperitoneal fibrosis is an uncommon inflammatory disorder, which often has significant clinical ramifications. The symptoms are nonspecific, and the diagnosis is typically made with computed tomography (CT) and/or magnetic resonance imaging. In our patient, the diagnosis was first suggested by sonography and confirmed on CT. This report illustrates

Urologic Radiology, 1990
Retroperitoneal fibrosis is idiopathic in two thirds of cases and is found most commonly as an isolated fibrotic plaque centered over the lower lumbar spine and entrapping one or both ureters. It has been postulated that the fibrosis in the idiopathic cases results from a hypersensitivity reaction to antigens leaking into the retroperitoneum from ...

Radiologic Clinics of North America, 1996
Retroperitoneal fibrosis is an uncommon inflammatory disease that leads to extensive fibrosis throughout the retroperitoneum. The majority of cases are idiopathic. The characteristic perivascular distribution of the idiopathic form supports the theory that the disease is an immune-mediated response to severe atherosclerosis.

Familial retroperitoneal fibrosis
Journal of Pediatric Surgery, 1987Retroperitoneal fibrosis is an unusual cause of obstructive uropathy in the pediatric population. The etiology is unknown although there are laboratory and clinical associations with various autoimmune diseases. Familial associations have not been reported in children. A family is reported where two siblings have idiopathic retroperitoneal fibrosis. In

IDIOPATHIC RETROPERITONEAL FIBROSIS
Acta Pathologica Japonica, 1976This report presents the first autopsy case in Japan of idiopathic retroperitoneal fibrosis which had developed in a 71‐year‐old man. The clinical course was of extremely long duration of more than 10 years. Malignancy was suspected on biopsy, and at one stage chylous ascites developed. The cause of this retroperitoneal fibrosis could not be determined,

Idiopathic Retroperitoneal Fibrosis
Journal of Urology, 1963Abstract A case of idiopathic retroperitoneal fibros is is presented. A plea is made for the inclusion of this entity in the differential diagnosis of any patient suffering obscure pain in the lower part of the back, the flank, groin or thigh, especially if it is associated with mild anemia and weight loss. While most of these cases are presented at

Idiopathic retroperitoneal fibrosis
The Japanese Journal of Surgery, 1987We treated a patient with idiopathic retroperitoneal fibrosis accompanied by right ureteral constriction. Pyelography, ureterography, and abdominal CT scan were pertinent diagnostics. Close collaboration between the surgeon and the urologist is required when attempting to treat such patients.

Childhood retroperitoneal fibrosis
Pediatric Radiology, 1988Retroperitoneal fibrosis is rarely considered in the differential diagnosis of ureteral obstruction in children even when clinical presentation and radiologic findings are typical. In a 12-year-old boy admitted with a 2-week history of flank pain computed tomography showed an enhancing mass obstructing the left ureter.

Carboplatin and retroperitoneal fibrosis
Clinical Oncology, 1992A patient treated for ovarian epithelial cancer by total abdominal hysterectomy (TAH), bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy (BSO), total omentectomy and five courses of single agent carboplatin chemotherapy, developed retroperitoneal fibrosis. This was diagnosed at exploratory laparotomy 6 months after completing treatment.
