Abstract
Ure of such a mass is recorded for the first time. It is suggested that these masses are a form of fibrodysplasia, the result of an abnormal response to trauma, rather than neoplasms of connective tissue. It is shown that certain features of this syndrome overlap those of retroperitoneal fibrosis and associated dysplasias, and it is suggested that they may represent the outcomes of similar pathologic processes. If further studies uphold this concept, the undoubted hereditary factor in the etiology of polyposis coli will support the suggestion that retroperitoneal fibrosis may also have a genetic element in its etiology. © The ASCRS 1970...Keywords
