Abstract
Systemic lupus erythematosus with retroperitoneal fibrosis, a rare disease with the mechanism obscure, is considered an autoimmune disorder at present. Computed tomography and Magnetic resonance imaging are the two tests of choice in diagnosis and follow-up. A combination of corticosteroids and immunosuppressive drugs is usually applied for therapy. Laparoscopic ureterolysis, or robotic ureterolysis, if available, is the technique of choice to relieve obstruction.
