Abstract

Retroperitoneal fibrosis (RPF), although rare, can lead to significant intestinal obstruction. A case of RPF resulting in obstruction of the rectosigmoid colon is presented. Computed Tomography (CT) and Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) revealed a characteristic fibrotic mass impinging on the rectosigmoid colon.
