The authors report two cases of abdominal fibromatosis corresponding to Gardner's syndrome, causing hydronephrosis by extrinsic ureteric compression in young men in whom any form of surgical resection would have been in vain. These cases of ureteric compression were treated endoscopically by placement of a double J ureteric stent associated with treatment by tamoxifen in one case and sulindac in the other, with apparent stabilization of the disease. The two patients are regularly followed in the department with ureteric stent replacement two to three times a year.

Retroperitoneal fibrosis (RPF) is a rare disease with a nonspecific presentation. RPF can be classified into Idiopathic, the most common, or secondary due to malignancy and various medications resulting in chronic inflammation and fibrosis in the retroperitoneum. The complications arise due to the compression of structures in the retroperitoneum.

Management of symptomatic lymphoceles typically involves sclerotherapy and lymphangiography with embolization. When many afferent lymphatic channels are supplying a large-volume lymphocele, sclerotherapy is associated with high recurrence rate. This case presents a patient who underwent retroperitoneal lymph node dissection and developed a high-volume lymphocele that was compressing the ipsilateral ureter, causing hydronephrosis.
