“…Blood in the urine, urinary frequency, urgency, or dysuria (painful urination) are not always indications of a bladder lipoma, although they might be. These symptoms are not exclusive to bladder lipoma and may be present in a variety of bladder diseases [9,10].…”

While conventional lipomas represent the most commonly seen benign mesenchymal tumor in adults, their occurrence in the bladder wall is exceptionally rare. This report details a rare case of a bladder lipoma, a benign tumor primarily composed of mature adipocytes, presenting as gross hematuria in a 68-year-old male. Despite the patient's previous history of left nephrectomy, no significant pathological findings were initially observed. The bladder lipoma was detected via cystoscopy as a polypoid mass on the posterior bladder wall and confirmed through transurethral resection of the bladder tumor (TUR-BT). Histopathological analysis verified the mass as a bladder lipoma composed of mature adipocytes. Following a specific postoperative follow-up period, no recurrence of the tumor was observed, suggesting successful treatment. This case underscores the clinical significance of considering bladder lipoma in differential diagnoses of bladder tumors, especially in patients presenting with gross hematuria, given its exceptional rarity.

Background: We report an exceptionally rare case, documenting the diagnosis and treatment of a lipoma of the renal pelvis in a 66-year-old White woman. This case represents the second reported lipoma in the upper urinary tract. Case Summary: An incidentally found filling defect in the right renal pelvis identified on CT scan in a 66-year-old woman resulted in referral to urology. Ureteroscopy was used to visualize, biopsy, and remove the tumor, with complete sparing of the kidney and associated structures. Histological analysis of the lesion revealed a benign tumor of mature adipocytes. The patient has been monitored for over 15 months postoperatively with no evidence of recurrence. Conclusions: This case serves as a reminder that many different nonmalignant lesions may be found throughout the upper urinary tract. It also highlights the kidney-sparing benefits of using ureteroscopic approaches whenever feasible in the timely diagnosis and treatment of upper urinary tract lesions.
