Disease Definition

A presentation is given of the stages through which Ormond in 1962 managed to define Idiopathic Retroperitoneal Fibrosis (RPF), thereby giving it a precise clinical identity while the disease became known with his name. In the following years Ormond examined some etiopathogenetic hypotheses and showed that the etiology of RPF was still unknown, even if in some cases the cause had been traced to some medicines, such as methysergide, which were thought to act as haptens. The anatomical limits of the retroperitoneum and its structures are then outlined, in particular the retroperitoneal connective tissue.

Histopathological Studies

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.

Ormond’S Disease

Idiopathic retroperitoneal fibrosis, or Ormond’s disease, is a rare syndrome which is in essence the deposition of pathological fibrous tissue in the retroperitoneal space. In most cases, it is initially asymptomatic, but as the disease progresses, clinical symptoms develop. The main complaint are abdominal pain and symptoms resulting from the involvement of ureters, arterial and venous vessels. Diagnosis is based on computed tomography or magnetic resonance imaging, demonstrating a fibrotic tissue mass accumulated in the retroperitoneal space. Due to the typically late presentation of clinical symptoms, a diagnosis is difficult and is often made after complications occur. In our article, we present the case of a 71-year-old patient in whom coexisting ankylosing spondylitis and retroperitoneal fibrosis were diagnosed 15 years after non-specific abdominal pain occurred.

Idiopathic Retroperitoneal Fibrosis

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.
