“…[1][2][3] In the Japanese literature, only one patient had proliferative cystitis; however, the low detection rate may be a result of less frequent cystoscopic examinations in Japanese pelvic lipomatosis patients. Yalla et al speculated that proliferative mucosal changes may be the result of lymphatic and venous stasis in the bony pelvis caused by excess fat deposition.…”

“…Yalla et al speculated that proliferative mucosal changes may be the result of lymphatic and venous stasis in the bony pelvis caused by excess fat deposition. 2 However, its precise etiology is still poorly understood. For example, the rectal mucosa in patients with pelvic lipomatosis is not affected despite being in the same environment as the bladder.…”

“…1 It has been demonstrated that approximately three-quarters of cases with pelvic lipomatosis have histologic evidence of proliferative cystitis, such as cystitis cystica and cystitis glandularis, although its cause remains unknown. [1][2][3] In the Japanese literature, 11 patients with pelvic lipomatosis have been reported. Of these, only one had concomitant proliferative cystitis.…”

Purpose: We report only the second known patient with pelvic lipomatosis associated with proliferative cystitis in the Japanese literature, a 43-year-old mildly obese Japanese male who demonstrated radiographic findings characteristic of pelvic lipomatosis. Methods: Cystourethrography revealed an elevated pear-shaped bladder and an elongated and anteriorly displaced prostatic urethra. Computed tomography demonstrated excess intrapelvic fat that exhibited a density identical to that of subcutaneous fat tissue. Cystoscopic and histologic examination revealed concomitant proliferative cystitis composed of von Brunn's nest, cystitis cystica and cystitis glandularis, but no malignant cells. Results/Conclusions: As a result of dietary control for 15 months, the proliferative cystitis improved mildly, but the amount of fat was unchanged.

“…26). The importance of pelvic lipomatosis lies in the fact that it may cause obstruction of the ureters (II), inferior vena cava and pelvic veins (15,23), may be associated with cystitis glandularis (27), and that it has to be differentiated from other causes of urinary bladder and rectosigmoid deformations.…”

Pelvic lipomatosis is a non-malignant condition of unknown etiology characterized by an overgrowth of non-encapsulated fatty tissue in the perirectal and perivesical spaces of the pelvis. The symptoms are generally vague and the condition is often diagnosed accidentally. It may cause obstruction of the ureters, inferior vena cava and pelvic veins and may be associated with cystitis glandularis. The typical conventional radiographic findings, though not pathognomonic, are a high-positioned and pear-shaped bladder, tubular narrowing of the rectum and distal sigmoid colon and reduced attenuation of the pelvic soft tissues. Computed tomography demonstrates a non-encapsulated fatty mass surrounding the pelvic organs symmetrically and with an attenuation similar to that of subcutaneous fat. The fatty tissue may contain strands with a higher attenuation than that of fat. The findings at computed tomography seem to be pathognomonic for this condition and eliminate the need for routine surgical biopsies.

“…Es besteht aber eine Assoziation mit einer zystoskopisch und histologisch nachweisbaren "proliferativen" Zystitis [10]. Diese wird in manchen Serien als häufig (70-80 %) beschrieben [14], in anderen als eher selten [10]. Welcher Art diese abakterielle Zystitis ist, bleibt weitgehend unklar; neben dem Terminus "proliferativ" wird sie auch als Zystitis glandularis benannt [15].…”

Pelvic lipomatosis is a rare benign disease characterized by increased pelvic fatty tissue of unknown origin, which leads to encroachment on the pelvic organs. This can lead to symptoms due to narrowing of the bladder and in some cases also of the rectum as well as distal obstruction of the ureter. Symptomatic disease seems to occur more commonly in men with unspecific lower urinary tract symptoms, constipation and hydronephrosis. Obstruction of the upper urinary tract necessitates operative treatment. As the etiology is unclear an appropriate causal treatment is not available.
