The authors report a case of a 53 year old woman with Riedel's thyroiditis and retroperitoneal fibrosis. The thyroiditis has been diagnosed a year before the retroperitoneal fibrosis. This one was idiopathic and has been responsible of the death of the patient during an operation performed for ureterolysis. Fifteen other similar cases have been reported in the literature: four of them associated also mediastinal and biliary ducts fibrosis. The existence in one patient of multiple fibrosclerosis locations and the similitude of histological patterns (inflammatory diffuse fibrosis) lead to the concept of a multiple sclerosing disorder involving Riedel's thyroiditis, Ormond's disease, mediastinal fibrosis, sclerosing cholangitis, and the pseudotumors of the orbit. The etiopathogenic processes remain unclear.
作者报告了一例53岁患有里德尔甲状腺炎和腹膜后纤维化的女性病例。甲状腺炎在腹膜后纤维化之前一年被诊断出来。后者为特发性，并且是导致患者在输尿管松解手术中死亡的原因。文献中还报道了另外15例类似病例：其中4例还伴有纵隔和胆管纤维化。一名患者中存在多个纤维硬化部位以及组织学模式（炎症性弥漫性纤维化）的相似性，导致了一种涉及里德尔甲状腺炎、奥蒙德病、纵隔纤维化、硬化性胆管炎和眼眶假瘤的多硬化性疾病概念。其发病机制仍不清楚。
