This is a report of the fifth case of pelvic lipomatosis in Japan. A 52-year-old man presented himself in our hospital with a complaint of left lower abdominal pain on August 28, 1988. At that time, physical examination was unremarkable with the exception of mild obesity. The excretory urogram and retrograde pyelogram revealed left hydroureteronephrosis with tapering of the left lower ureter. Urethrocystogram showed an elongated posterior urethra with anterior displacement and elevation of the bladder. Computed tomography revealed excess of diffuse fatty tissue in the pelvic space with bladder deformity and rectal compression. Pelvic arteriogram demonstrated no neovascularity. A diagnosis of pelvic lipomatosis was established. He lost 6 kg by diet therapy. Left lower abdominal pain disappeared, but excretory urogram after eight months showed no changes.
