title: [Idiopathic retroperitoneal fibrosis. An atypical case of multisystem presentation].
abstract: Idiopathic retroperitoneal fibrosis (IRF) is a disease difficult to diagnose. It is considered by different authors of autoimmune origin given its similarity to other connective tissue diseases. We present the case of a female patient diagnosed by a postmortem study, of IRF with multiorgan involvement (lymph nodes, serose tissue, liver, spleen, adrenal glands, thyroid and kidneys) and atypical presentation, not finding other similar cases in the national literature.
