retroperitoneal fibrosis

This could be seen as a localised form of retroperitoneal fibrosis.

Although highly effective, it has rare but serious side effects, including retroperitoneal fibrosis.

It has a known side effect, retroperitoneal fibrosis, which is severe, although uncommon.

In addition, a rare condition occasionally treated with tamoxifen is retroperitoneal fibrosis.

Diagnosis and follow-up of medical treatment of retroperitoneal fibrosis.

The diagnosis of retroperitoneal fibrosis cannot be made on the basis of results of laboratory studies.

Sources of obstruction that can arise from other various causes include kidney stones, blood clots, or retroperitoneal fibrosis.

We have described the unusual association of Riedel's thyroiditis, retroperitoneal fibrosis, and sclerosing cholangitis.

Albarran-Ormond syndrome: Inflammatory retroperitoneal fibrosis, usually associated with urinary obstruction.

It causes retroperitoneal fibrosis and mediastinal fibrosis.

Retroperitoneal fibrosis (soft tissue of the retroperitoneum)

The most common cause is renal cell carcinoma (a.k.a. hypernephroma) followed by retroperitoneal fibrosis or adhesions.

Known manifestations include retroperitoneal fibrosis, mediastinal fibrosis and Riedel's struma of the thyroid.

A year later Bartholemew noted an association of Riedel's thyroiditis, sclerosing cholangitis, and retroperitoneal fibrosis in the same patient.

We report a further patient with Reidel's thyroiditis, sclerosing cholangitis, and retroperitoneal fibrosis whose condition improved coincident with steroid therapy.

John Kelso Ormond was an American urologist who rediscovered retroperitoneal fibrosis (also known as Ormond's disease) in 1948.

Some serotonergic agonist drugs also cause fibrosis anywhere in the body, particularly the syndrome of retroperitoneal fibrosis, as well as cardiac valve fibrosis.

The terms Riedel's thyroiditis, sclerosing cholangitis, retroperitoneal fibrosis, mediastinal fibrosis, and pseudotumour of the orbit reflect the multiple areas affected.

Fibrosing diseases: Diabetic stiff hand syndrome, Dupuytren's contracture, palmar and plantar fasciitis, retroperitoneal fibrosis, and Peyronie's disease.

The association of sclerosing cholangitis, retroperitoneal fibrosis, and Riedel's thyroiditis has been reported twice before, and on both occasions the authors successfully used steroids to control the fibrotic process.

This response to steroids suggests a different disease process to that which occurs when retroperitoneal fibrosis or primary sclerosing cholangitis are found alone where the results of steroid treatment are unpredictable.

Retroperitoneal fibrosis or Ormond's disease is a disease featuring the proliferation of fibrous tissue in the retroperitoneum, the compartment of the body containing the kidneys, aorta, renal tract, and various other structures.

Diseases such as autoimmune pancreatitis, retroperitoneal fibrosis, mediastinal fibrosis, Riedel's thyroiditis, Mikulicz's syndrome, Kuttner's tumor and inflammatory pseudotumor are now regarded as forms of IgG4-RSD.

However, the association of fibrous thyroditis with other sites of fibrosis was not widely noted until 1962 when Hache reported an association with retroperitoneal fibrosis and Woolner an association with sclerosing cholangitis.

Also, the Albarran-Ormond syndrome (an inflammatory retroperitoneal fibrosis, named after urologists Joaquín Albarrán and John Kelso Ormond) is also known as Gerota's syndrome or Gerota's fasciitis.
