Pelvic lipomatosis is a self-limiting disease of unknown etiology. It has been defined as a nonmalignant overgrowth of normal fatty tissue limited. Primarily to the perivesical and perirectal space in the pelvis which may be to go obstructive uropathy. Typically, urinary tract roentgenographys show a high, gourd-shaped bladder. Computed tomography provided definitive proof that pelvic organ displacement was due to excessive fat. We present a case of this pelvic lipomatosis.
