“…However, inflammatory cells also show high uptake of FDG, particularly when activated [8]. Hence, several studies have recently highlighted the potential role of FDG PET in the assessment of inflammatory disease [1][2][3][4][5][6]. c Whole-body FDG PET coronal MIP image shows no pathological FDG uptake IRF usually presents as a fibroinflammatory retroperitoneal mass.…”

A 68-year-old man was admitted to our hospital with left intermittent claudication. Computed tomography showed soft tissue masses surrounding the left iliac artery and in the bilateral pulmonary hilum, and the first FDG PET showed increased FDG uptake by the lesions. Retroperitoneal fibrosis associated with mediastinal fibrosis was most suspected. An open biopsy of the left peri-iliac masses revealed retroperitoneal fibrosis. Corticosteroid treatment was initiated. The second FDG PET under corticosteroid treatment showed no pathological FDG uptake. The third FDG PET after cessation of corticosteroid treatment showed increased FDG uptake in the mediastinum, and so Sairei-to treatment was initiated. The fourth FDG PET under Sairei-to treatment showed no improvement of the pathological FDG uptake, and so low-dose corticosteroid was re-started in combination with Sairei-to treatment. The fifth FDG PET under Sairei-to and corticosteroid treatment showed no pathological FDG uptake. These FDG PET findings suggest the usefulness of FDG PET for the diagnosis and monitoring of retroperitoneal fibrosis associated with mediastinal fibrosis.

Objective: Evaluate radiological findings on retroperitoneal fibrosis. Patients and methods :A retrospective analysis conducted in the internal Medicine Department in Sahloul teaching Hospital between 1999 and 2016.Results: Thirty-two patients were included. There were 24 men and 8 women with a mean age of 58 years. Lower back pain is the most common symptom. Ultrasound showed a dilatation of the urinary cavities (n=16, 50%) and the CT scan confirmed the bilateral ureteral catheterization (n=11). A fibrous mass that surrounds abdominal aorta, the inferior vena cava and the iliac vessels was noted in CT scan (23 cases), in MRI (9 cases). Intravenous urography (IVU) noted ureteropelicillal dilation in 4 cases. Five patients suffered from RFP associated to pulmonary fibrosis (n=2), sarcoidosis (n=1), immunoglobulin G4-related disease (n=1), Riedel thyroiditis and orbital pseudo tumor (n=1). Conclusion:The diagnosis of RPF is based on imaging, which seeks an etiology, an associated disease or a complication. CT-scan is the preferred imaging method. MRI may facilitate assessment of disease extent.

“…[48] It detects other sites of inflammation and discloses infections or neoplastic lesions as the cause of or aligning with RF. [48,49] And also, FDG PET can help to detect the presence of the metabolic activity of the residual tissue and, therefore, point out if further treatment is needed, as residual retroperitoneal mass usually persists after medical therapy. [5] It is still controversial whether patients diagnosed with RF on the basis of CT/MRI require retroperitoneal biopsy.…”
