Retroperitoneal fibrosis is a rare disease in which dominantly inflammatory mass envelops and potentially obstructs retroperitoneal structures including ureters. The initial management of retroperitoneal fibrosis depends on the patient¡¯s clinical status. About an emergent condition of a patient, we must have a initial management like resolution of ureteral obstruction. Recently, after initial management, the medical therapy in patient with retroperitoneal fibrosis is prefered to the surgical therapy.
