Extensive primary retroperitoneal fibrosis (Ormond’s disease) with common bile duct and ureteral obstruction: A rare case report

Abstract Retroperitoneal fibrosis is a rare inflammatory fibrotic process causing compression of retroperitoneal structures particularly the ureters. Ormond’s disease may involve the perirenal tissue, mesentery and biliary system in extremely uncommon situations defining the extensive RPF. We describe an unusual case of retroperitoneal fibrosis presenting as a malignant tissular bile duct stricture (hilar cholangiocarcinoma).
