Idiopathic Retroperitoneal Fibrosis with Bilateral Varicocele: A Rare Presentation of Very Rare Clinical Entity.

ABSTRACT

Retroperitoneal fibrosis is a very rare inflammatory disease leading to extensive fibrosis throughout the retroperitoneum. The majority of cases are idiopathic in which the exact cause is not known. The clinical presentation in retroperitoneal fibrosis is vague and nonspecific, and therefore the diagnosis relies mainly on radiological findings. Here we describe a rare case of idiopathic retroperitoneal fibrosis resulting in Grade 3 varicocele formation. To the best of our knowledge this is the first case report of its kind.
