title: [Retroperitoneal fibrosis--own experience in combined treatment with corticosteroids and tamoxifen].
abstract: Three patients are presented, treated for advanced retroperitoneal fibrosis (Ormond's disease) in two cooperating departments: urology and internal diseases departments. In these three patients excision of fibrotic ureter fragments was performed, followed by combined treatment with corticosteroids and tamoxifen. The authors believe that immediate surgical therapy and subsequent treatment with corticosteroids and tamoxifen leads to regression of retroperitoneal fibrosis.
