Abstract:

Retroperitoneal fibrosis (RPF) is a relatively rare disease which shows enlarged periaortic adipose in the retroperitoneal area. The diagnosis of RPF is a challenge for the clinicians. The symptoms and signs associated with RPF are nonspecific, and diagnosis requires a high degree of suspicion. A definitive diagnosis can only be made based on biopsy findings, although US, CT scanning or MRI are essential for evaluating the disease process, for determination whether the retroperitoneal mass is due to idiopathic or secondary RPF. Article presents 2 cases of idiopathic RPF occurring in patients who was suspected of abdominal aortic aneurysm.
