A Case of Follicular Lymphoma Mimicking Idiopathic Retroperitoneal Fibrosis

Retroperitoneal fibrosis (RF) is a rare disease, which can be primary (idiopathic) or secondary. We present the case of a 56-year-old patient with symptomatic RF, in whom, after ineffective treatment with glucocorticoids, immunosuppressants, and non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs for one year and...

Sumario:Retroperitoneal fibrosis (RF) is a rare disease, which can be primary (idiopathic) or secondary. We present the case of a 56-year-old patient with symptomatic RF, in whom, after ineffective treatment with glucocorticoids, immunosuppressants, and non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs for one year and a progressive clinical course, a follicular lymphoma in the retroperitoneal space and several lymphoma nodes was identified. We also include a literature review on differential diagnosis through image inspection and case reports of lymphoma mimicking RF.
