MRI does not enable a precise preoperative diagnos is. Three months after delivery clinical data as hormonal functions re turned to normal and also the CT Scan aspect. Eighteen months later th e patient remains totally normal. In our case we dent find any argumen t in favor of an autoimmune disease.
