Scand J Urol Nephrol. 2002;36(5):391-2. doi: 10.1080/003655902320783953.

Abstract

The authors report a case of retroperitoneal fibrosis conservatively treated with Tamoxifen. The computerized tomography (TC) control at ten months showed the persistence of a slight residual of peri-aortic fibrotic tissue. This result allowed removal of the double J catheter.
