Most cases are of unknown origin, although some are thought to result from pneumoconiosis, hypersensitivity pneumonitis, scleroderma, and other diseases.mediastinal fibrosis development of hard white fibrous tissue in the upper portion of the mediastinum, sometimes obstructing the air passages and large blood vessels; called also fibrosing or fibrous mediastinitis.periureteral fibrosis retroperitoneal fibrosis.pleural fibrosis fibrosis of the visceral pleura so that part or all of a lung becomes covered with a plaque or a thick layer of nonexpansible fibrous tissue.

The condition may be caused by drugs such as practolol and methysergide, malignant disease, infections or surgery, but usually occurs for no known reason. It may cause obstruction of the ureters and kidney failure.Ormond, John Kelso, U.S. urologist, 1886–. Ormond disease - Synonym(s): retroperitoneal fibrosis |
