Abstract

Fibrosing retroperitoneal changes can mimic malignant tumours. The correlation with beta-blockers has long been known where practolol was the prototype agent. It is now possible to report supradiaphragmatic occurrence of a similar pathology and its link with later generation beta adrenergic receptor blocking drugs leading to a diagnosis of lymphoma. This rare association needs to be included in the differential diagnosis of mass lesions in both abdomen and chest.

Keywords: Retroperitoneal fibrosis; beta-blockers; pseudolymphoma
