Abstract
PANQUEVA MARTINEZ, Uriel et al. Retroperitoneal fibrosis associated with a generalized cortical hyperostosis. Presentation of a case. Rev.Colomb.Reumatol. [online]. 2014, vol.21, n.2, pp.99-103. ISSN 0121-8123.
Retroperitoneal fibrosis is a rare clinical condition, characterized by a fibro-inflammatory disorder that surrounds abdominal structures, principally at perivascular level, and that is explained by different etiologies like idiopathic fibrosis and IgG4 related disorders. Generalized cortical hyperostosis belongs to a group of rare metabolic bone condensation diseases.The case is presented of a 45 year old female patient with a retroperitoneal fibrosis of unknown origin associated with generalized cortical hyperostosis. The association of these two conditions has not previously reported in the literature. This appears to be a spurious relationship, although some pathogenic mechanisms are intertwined.
Keywords : Retroperitoneal fibrosis; Generalized cortical hiperostosis.
