ABSTRACT
Retroperitoneal fibrosis, although benign, has a malignant course due to an encasement and obstruction of the retroperitoneal structures, particularly the urinary system. The most common treatment is often a surgical exploration followed by urologic intervention. However, steroid or azathioprine therapy has been advocated, with varying results and major side-effects. Recently, the successful medical therapy in patients with an early stage and low malignant potential has been reported. Here we report a male patient who underwent successful treatment of an idiopathic retroperitoneal fibrosis with tamoxifen and prednisolone.
