Özet

Pelvic lipomatosis is a rare condition characterized by an overgrowth of normal fat in the perirectal and perivesical spaces. The most important differential diagnosis is liposarcoma. We present a case of pelvic lipomatosis associated with a mass, which was diagnosed radiologically as a liposarcoma, but surgical biopsy result revealed fat necrosis. (C) 2003 Elsevier Science Inc.
