Retroperitoneal varices may occasionally resemble retroperitoneal masses on computed tomography and B-mode ultrasound. Biopsy could be disastrous in this situation and angiography has previously been required to establish the diagnosis in suspected cases. This unusual problem can nowadays be readily diagnosed by colour Doppler. We report a case in which retroperitoneal varices were initially misinterpreted on B-mode ultrasound as retroperitoneal masses, but colour Doppler established the diagnosis without the need for further investigations.
腹膜后静脉曲张在计算机断层扫描和B超检查中偶尔可能类似腹膜后肿块。在这种情况下进行活检可能会带来灾难性后果，以往对于疑似病例需要进行血管造影来确诊。如今，这个不寻常的问题可以通过彩色多普勒轻易诊断出来。我们报告一例病例，该病例中腹膜后静脉曲张最初在B超检查中被误诊为腹膜后肿块，但彩色多普勒确诊了病情，无需进一步检查。
