Abstract

A case of idiopathic retroperitoneal fibrosis in an 11-year-old boy is presented. A review of 7 previous case reports revealed that there was no characteristic presentation in this disease process and that the diagnosis usually is suspected on an excretory urogram. The treatment is primarily surgical but corticosteroids may be helpful in selective cases.
