Erdheim-Chester disease
Rare case showing a relatively gradual progression of findings typical for Erdheim-Chester disease. The patient presented with renal obstruction due to ill-defined, infiltrative soft tissue in the renal hila and proximal ureters.
Over the course of 9 years, the patient developed several more manifestations of the disease:
- increasing renal involvement, resulting in obstruction of the right kidney and typical "hairy kidney" appearance of the left
- adrenal infiltration
- biliary involvement with gallbladder and cystic duct thickening
- coating of the proximal great vessels and thoracic and abdominal aorta
- involvement and narrowing of the IVC
- infiltration of the RCA and right AV groove
Please see companion case with many overlapping imaging features.
