Abstract:
Pelvic lipomatosis is a rare disease of unknown cause, characterised by overgrowth
of benign mature fat cells commonly located in the perivesical and perirectal spaces.
The disease is rare amongst Asian population and has a wide range of presenting
symptoms varying from lower urinary tract symptoms to bowel symptoms. However, this disease
can be easily diagnosed based on certain characteristic radiological imaging techniques. We
report a case of pelvic lipomatosis in an asymptomatic Chinese gentleman, who presented with
classical radiological features of pelvic lipomatosis but provided us with challenging therapeutic
scenario. (JUMMEC 2010; 13(2): 111-114)
