title: [Association of retroperitoneal fibrosis with ankylosing spondylitis. Report of a case (author's transl)].
abstract: A case of retroperitoneal fibrosis associated with ankylosing spondylitis is reported. Five similar cases have been reported in the published literature. Certain etiological factors and anatomical locations suggest an analogy between the two affections, with conditions predisposing to fibrous changes, one result of which being the presence of HLA-B27 antigen.
