چکیده

Myolipoma is a very rare adipocytic tumor occurring most frequently in adults, and usually is located in the retroperitoneum or abdomen. It has been described in the retroperitoneum, spinal cord, orbita, breast, round ligament, subcutaneous tissue, pericardium, rectus sheath of the abdominal wall, and abdominal cavity with attachment to the abdominal wall. Most of these tumors are discovered incidentally and are large when discovered. Radiological findings are nonspecific due to the nonlipomatous component of the tumor. We present radiological findings of a large extraperitoneal pelvic myolipoma adjacent to the anterior abdominal wall, detected incidentally in an elderly woman with a presenting complaint of intractable hiccups.

MR imaging of pelvic extraperitoneal masses: A diagnostic approach.

Pelvic extraperitoneal pelvic masses are relatively uncommon conditions and generally raise diagnostic imaging challenges. Magnetic resonance (MR) imaging plays a central role in the diagnosis of these masses due to its unique tissue-specific multiplanar capabilities that allow optimal pelvic mass localization and internal characterization. This article reviews the MR imaging presentation of ex...

Myolipoma: A clinical-Radiologic-Pathologic Mimic of Malignant Retroperitoneal Tumors

It consists of mature adipose tissue mixed with bundles of well-differentiated smooth muscle cells, and is most often found in the retroperitoneum and abdomen. It can grow to a large size, and is often found late as an incidental finding due to non-specific abdominal and pelvic discomfort or pain. Ima...

Pelvic Lipomatosis Associated with Cystitis Cystica and Chronic Metaplasia of the Urinary Bladder: a case report

Cystitis cystica, often occurring concurrently with pelvic lipomatosis, is a rare proliferative inflammatory disease of the bladder. The diagnosis of pelvic lipomatosis is established on radiographic examination, not on pathology. We report a case of pelvic lipomatosis associat...
