WHICH TREATMENT IN LIPOMATOSIS PELVIS

Lipomatosis pelvis is a disease characterized by tumorlike overgrowth of normal fat in the pelvis. Due to uninary tract obstruction severe u rological complications up to uraemia can arise. In 75-80% a cystitis glandularis is observed at the same time which has to be regarded as p remalignant for adenocarinoma of the bladder. We describe a 50-year ol d male patient with lipomatosis pelvis where we performed a radical cy stoprostatovesiculectomie and a continent urinary diversion. Reviewing the literature the symptoms, diagnostic procedures and therapy of thi s disease are discussed.
