Idiopathic retroperitoneal fibrosis associated with Hashimoto's thyroiditis in a patient with a single functioning kidney

چکیده
Retroperitoneal fibrosis (RPF) is a rare disease characterized by the presence of fibroinflammatory tissue around the abdominal aorta and ureteral entrapment in most cases. Idiopathic RPF is frequently reported in association with autoimmune diseases; however, there have been few reports of idiopathic RPF associated with Hashimoto's thyroiditis. Here, we report a case of idiopathic RPF with Hashimoto's thyroiditis in a patient with a single functioning kidney, which was successfully treated by corticosteroid therapy and transient intraureteral stent insertion with a double-J catheter.

متن کامل[Diagnosis of Hashimoto's disease by multiple biopsy].
The author attempted to realize the accuracy and limitation of the operative biopsy for the diagnosis of Hashimoto's disease. In the 11 cases of total—partial thyroidectomy , there was no essential difference between the histological types of both thyroid lobes. The diagnosis of Hashimoto's disease was obtained in 81 % by single biopsy (a tiny specimen from one lobe through a small incision). T...
