title: Clinical and radiological evolution of a case of idiopathic retroperitoneal fibrosis treated with Tamoxifen.
abstract: The authors report a case of retroperitoneal fibrosis conservatively treated with Tamoxifen. The computerized tomography (TC) control at ten months showed the persistence of a slight residual of peri-aortic fibrotic tissue. This result allowed removal of the double J catheter.
