    (Emergency Medicine Physicians Assoc Turkey, 2024-03) Deniz, Gulnihal; Cakir, Murteza; Bilgin Akyagci, Serpil
    This case report details the unfortunate journey of a 59-year-old breast cancer survivor who developed secondary Retroperitoneal Fibrosis (RPF) in 2022. Despite diligent treatment efforts, her condition took a devastating turn when, in June 2023, she was diagnosed not only with persistent RPF but also with advanced liver, omental, and duodenal cancer. Tragically, her condition deteriorated rapidly, leading to her passing on day 41 following her presentation. This case underscores the challenges of diagnosing and treating RPF. It highlights the importance of considering cancer development in advanced RPF cases that do not respond to treatment, often leaving limited options for effective intervention.
