A 70-year-old man was diagnosed with retroperitoneal fibrosis (RPF) complicated by ureteral obstruction 4 months after finishing radiotherapy for prostate cancer. He was treated conservatively with ureteral stent placement. After 3 months, computed tomography scan of the abdomen revealed resolution of RPF without any medical or surgical interventions. Although an uncommon event, the possibility of spontaneous resolution of RPF, as demonstrated by this and previously reported cases, has led some to encourage conservative management.
一位 70 岁男性在前列腺癌放疗后 4 个月时被诊断出患有腹膜后纤维化（RPF）并伴有输尿管梗阻。他接受了保守治疗，包括输尿管支架置入术。3 个月后，腹部 CT 扫描显示 RPF 已自行消退，无需任何医疗或手术干预。尽管这种情况较为少见，但本病例及既往报道的病例均表明 RPF 有自发缓解的可能，因此一些人鼓励采取保守治疗。
