Abstract:
Background: Idiopathic retroperitoneal fibrosis (RPF) is a subtype of chronic periaortitis (CP). CP is a rare disorder characterized by the presence of a fibro-inflammatory mass usually surrounding the abdominal aorta and the iliac arteries. Case Presentation: We report the case of A 45-year-old woman who was admitted to the hospital because of abdominal pain, fever, and weight loss. And the diagnosis of retroperitoneal fibrosis was made by CT. Conclusion: The clinical picture of idiopathic RPF is characterized by abdominal, back, or lumbar pain, usually associated with constitutional symptoms such as fever and weight loss, imaging findings can confirm the diagnosis.
