RETRACTILE MESENTERITIS MIMICKING AN ADRENAL TUMOR
1999
Retractile mesenteritis is a nonspecific inflammatory process involving the adipose tissue of the mesentery.1 It is a diagnostic challenge to identify this benign condition and, thus, avoid unnecessary surgery. Although approximately 100 cases have been published describing stomach and intestine involvement,z to our knowledge involvement of the urological organs has not been described previously. Consequently the urological literature lacks any information on this pathological entity. We report a rare case of retractile mesenteritis presenting as an adrenal tumor. were obtained and sent for frozen section, which revealed fibrotic tissue similar to retroperitoneal fibrosis. Due to the extens…
IgG4 Related Syndrome: Another Multiorgan Disease in the Interest Field of Internal Medicine.
2016
BACKGROUND: IgG4-related disease is a rare, clinical and pathologic disease entity of unknown etiology. Its main features are increased serum concentrations of IgG4 > 1,35 g/l, lymphocyte and IgG4+plasma-cell infiltration within tissues, fibrosis or sclerosis. The classical presentation of IgG4-RSD is pancreatitis which is combined with the involvement of biliary ducts in 74 percent of patients. Extrapancreatic manifestations include: abdominal or mediastinal lymphadenopathy; the involvement of salivary glands and lacrimal glands, kidneys, lung, retroperitoneum. Since IgG4-related disease is a multiorgan lymphoproliferative syndrome, it requires a careful differential diagnosis from othe…
Pancreatitis autoinmune: pseudotumor inflamatorio, afectación multifocal, hipertensión portal y evolución a largo plazo
2008
Autoimmune pancreatitis is a recently characterized disease that still constitutes a diagnostic challenge, especially regarding differential diagnosis from neoplasia. Long-term outcome is poorly known. We herein report a case of a patient with autoimmune pancreatitis and 14 years of follow-up, and show its clinical, biochemical, and morphological characteristics. A 54-year-old female presented with obstructive jaundice and abdominal tenderness, as well as a mass at the pancreatic head on a CT scan, suggestive of pancreatic neoplasia. Surgery showed an increase of the whole pancreas, malignancy was intraoperatively ruled out, and a cholecystectomy and choledochoduodenostomy were carried out.…
Idiopathic Retroperitoneal Fibrosis: What Is the Optimal Clinical Approach for Long-Term Preservation of Renal Function?
2022
<b><i>Background:</i></b> The aim of this study was to investigate the long-term effects of ureteral stenting and the exact timing of stent removal in favor of surgery in patients with idiopathic retroperitoneal fibrosis (IRF). <b><i>Summary:</i></b> Medline research terms of “idiopathic retroperitoneal fibrosis” AND “ medical therapy” OR “ureteral stenting” OR “surgical treatment” were done. Systematic reviews and observational and clinical studies were analyzed to obtain indication regarding the objective of the study for a narrative review. Ninety-two papers were analyzed. The treatment of IRF includes the monitoring of retroperitoneal fibr…
Thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura (TTP) leading to pseudotumour's autoimmune pancreatitis (AIP): A case report
2012
International audience; Introduction: Autoimmune pancreatitis is an idiopathic inflammatory disease that produces pancreatic masses and ductal strictures. This benign disease can be associated with extrapancreatic manifestations including cholangitis, sialadenitis, inflammatory bowel disease or retroperitoneal fibrosis, mediastinal adenopathy, interstitial nephritis mainly due to immunoglobulin G4 (Ig G4), and occasional association with other auto-immune diseases. Observation: We report a 57-year-old woman who developed thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura (UP) and pseudo-tumour's seronegative autoimmune pancreatitis (ATP) type 1. The patient was initially treated with pulse corticosteroids…
