“…It has been postulated that methysergide and other drugs act as haptens (8). The good response to steroids in the early stages of RF might support the theory of an immunological hypersensitivity reaction (17).…”

“…The pathological changes resemble those seen in collagen diseases and, consequently, immunological mechanisms have been considered (8). A few cases have been reported in which RF has been associated with lupus erythematosus, vasculitis (17), amyloidosis (13,21), immune complex glomerulonephritis (lo), Raynauds phenomenon (17). HLA-B 27 antigen ( 2 5 ) , as well as deposits of IgG, IgA, IgM on the collagen fibres (6).…”

ABSTRACT. The concomitant occurrence of retroperitoneal fibrosis (RF) and Riedel's thyroiditis is reported in two patients, one of whom presented with anuria. The etiology is discussed, and it is concluded that immunological mechanisms with arteritis might be of importance. The associations between Riedel's thyroiditis, RF, mediastinal fibrosis, slcerosing chol‐angitis, retroorbital fibrosis and fibrosis in other organ systems are thought to be different manifestations of a so‐called multifocal idiopathic fibrosclerosis. The benefical effect of glucocorticoids in early stages of the disease is mentioned.
