Abstract
|
|
|
|
Retroperitoneal fibrosis (RPF) is a rare inflammatory fibrotic condition affecting the peri-aortic retroperitoneum in which fibrosis of the surrounding tissue can encase the ureters, resulting in obstructive uropathy. RPF is generally idiopathic in nature, but may also arise in response to other conditions, such as malignancies, infections, surgery, radiotherapy, or drugs. Idiopathic RPF is commonly seen in association with various autoimmune diseases, such as autoimmune thyroiditis, autoimmune pancreatitis, rheumatoid arthritis, and systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). Here, we describe the first case of RPF in Korea. A 44-year-old man with SLE presenting with pain in both flanks due to RPF is discussed, along with a review of the relevant literature.
