Retroperitoneal fibrosis

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 ...

Familial retroperitoneal fibrosis

Journal of Pediatric Surgery, 1987
Retroperitoneal 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, 1976
This 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 (Sclerosing retroperitonitis)

Human Pathology, 1987
Three cases of idiopathic retroperitoneal fibrosis, one of which was localized to the perirenal area, are presented. The predominance of plasma cells, which may be difficult to recognize because of distortion unless methyl green-pyronine staining is done, and the character of the fibrous tissue indicated the non-neoplastic nature of the processes. This

Idiopathic retroperitoneal fibrosis

The Japanese Journal of Surgery, 1987
We 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, 1988
Retroperitoneal 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.

Retroperitoneal Fibrosis: Evolving Concepts

Rheumatic Disease Clinics of North America, 2007
Retroperitoneal fibrosis (RPF) is a rare fibro-inflammatory condition that is idiopathic in most cases, but may be secondary to various causes. Although the cause and pathogenesis of the idiopathic form are unknown, immunogenetic factors and immunopathologic/autoimmune mechanisms are probably involved.
