Ormond's disease: Aspetti anatomo-patologici: Ormond's disease: Histopathological features

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.

Improved Accuracy

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.

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.
