| Popis: | Patients with retroperitoneal fibrosis (RPF), a rare condition, present with nonspecific abdominal pain or flank pain that can be complicated by urologic obstruction and/or vascular compromise. Reporting rare entities that often elude prompt diagnosis will aid clinicians to consider the entity in their differential diagnosis and potentially lead to earlier recognition and appropriate management. Our case emphasizes the importance of not just the diagnosis and treatment of RPF but how to best monitor RPF patients to minimize complications from disease progression or treatment-related adverse events. |
