Abstract
Delay in diagnosis is common in retroperitoneal fibrosis because of th e nonspecific clinical presentation. Ultrasonography combined with col or Doppler imaging is a rapid and practical method in the early diagno sis and during follow-up. We describe 3 cases with retroperitoneal fib rosis, emphasizing the ultrasonographic and color Doppler features of the disease.
