Abstract
Systemic amyloidosis diffusely involving the retroperitoneum has not, to the authors'' knowledge, been previously reported. The computed tomographic scans of a 68-year-old man showed evidence of duffuse, nonenhancing thickening of the entire retroperitoneum. This appearance mimicked retroperitoneal fibrosis, but the diagnosis of amyloidosis was confirmed at autopsy.This publication has 0 references indexed in Scilit:
