Idiopathic retroperitoneal fibrosis is characterized by the deposition of dense fibrous connective tissue and varying degrees of lymphoid cell infiltration.(1) Some descriptions of this disease also refer to the presence of distorted plasma cells and to nuclear irregularities and clonal gene rearrangement in the lymphoid cells.(2,3) Reports of the incidence of malignant lymphoma, following an initial diagnosis of idiopathic retroperitoneal fibrosis and associated condition,(4-8) suggest that these sclerosing entities should perhaps be classified as lymphoid dyscrasia, which may be predisposed to forming low grade malignant lymphomas.(3) The aim of this study was to further investigate immunohematological abnormalities in cases of idiopathic retroperitoneal fibrosis.
