Amyloidosis: diffuse involvement of the retroperitoneum

TP Glynn Jr, DL Kreipke and JM Irons
Department of Radiology, Reid Memorial Hospital, Richmond, IN 47374.

Systemic amyloidosis diffusely involving the retroperitoneum has not, to the authors' knowledge, been previously reported. The computed tomographic scans of a 68-year-old man showed evidence of diffuse, nonenhancing thickening of the entire retroperitoneum. This appearance mimicked retroperitoneal fibrosis, but the diagnosis of amyloidosis was confirmed at autopsy.
