Idiopathic retroperitoneal fibrosis (RPF) is characterised by the development of a fibrotic mass in the prelumbar or presacral area which becomes clinically significant when it causes ureteral obstruction. New imaging techniques have improved accuracy of the morphological approach to the disease, but urography and sequential renal scintigraphy are still important for assessing ureteral involvement. The role of imaging techniques is discussed and current diagnostic and therapeutic tools are evaluated.

Histopathological studies have significantly contributed to clarifing the pathogenetic mechanisms of idiopathic retroperitoneal fibrosis (Ormond's disease), confirming in most cases its inflammatory nature. In this review we describe the principal pathologic features of the lesion, describing the different inflammatory and fibrogenic cell components. In addition, the differential diagnosis of Ormond's disease and the clinical role of histopathology and immunophenotypical analysis are briefly discussed.

Idiopathic retroperitoneal fibrosis is uncommon enough to be placed low down on a list of differential diagnoses of any problem facing a general surgeon in a district hospital. In this paper, 4 cases of retroperitoneal fibrosis are described, all of whom presented within a 5-year period to the same surgeon; each described a different symptomatology. This paper serves to reiterate the diversity of presenting features in retroperitoneal fibrosis and to demonstrate that this condition may not be as rare as is widely believed.
