We report the case of a man with bilateral orbital fibrous pseudotumours and a large pelvic mass which was initially thought to be malignant. Sonographically guided transrectal core biopsies showed it to be a fibrotic retroperitoneal pseudotumour. The mass decreased after steroid therapy. The computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging features of this unusual form of pelvic fibrosis as well as the association with heterotopic fibrosis are discussed.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D008279 Magnetic Resonance Imaging Non-invasive method of demonstrating internal anatomy based on the principle that atomic nuclei in a strong magnetic field absorb pulses of radiofrequency energy and emit them as radiowaves which can be reconstructed into computerized images. The concept includes proton spin tomographic techniques.

D012185 Retroperitoneal Fibrosis A slowly progressive condition of unknown etiology, characterized by deposition of fibrous tissue in the retroperitoneal space compressing the ureters, great vessels, bile duct, and other structures. When associated with abdominal aortic aneurysm, it may be called chronic periaortitis or inflammatory perianeurysmal fibrosis.
