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.
