Source of Funding: Self Conflicts of interest: None DOI: 10.16965/ijims.2016.126 Renal replacement lipomatosis is a rare benign entity, characterized by diffuse replacement of renal parenchyma, sinus and hilum with adipose tissue resulting in renal parenchymal atrophy. Etiology may be secondary to obesity, cushing’s syndrome, corticosteroid excess or idiopathic. Renal replacement lipomatosis is...

UNLABELLED Lipomas are the most common benign soft tissue mesenchymal tumours composed of mature adipose tissue. They are uncommon in the oral and maxillofacial regions, with 15-20 % of cases involving the head and neck region and less than 5% of all benign oral lesions. Multiple symmetric lipomatosis is rare and characterized by diffuse growth and nonencapsulated lipomas. It is usually found i...

INTRODUCTION Pelvic lipomatosis is a benign proliferation of adipose tissue predominantly in the pelvic retroperitoneum. Involvement of the bladder and ureter may cause bilateral hydroureteronephrosis and low capacity bladder.(1) We present the case report of a patient with pelvic lipomatosis causing bilateral hydroureteronephrosis with low capacity bladder managed by laparoscopy assisted ‘U’ c...

Epidural lipomatosis is most frequently seen in patients on chronic steroid treatment. Only twelve cases of idiopathic spinal epidural lipomatosis have been described. In this report we present an additional case of this condition in a middle-aged male presenting with neurogenic claudication.

Pelvic lipomatosis is a rare disease where fat tissue deposition is observed in spaces of the pelvic area. The disease has a wide range of presenting obstruction symptoms varying from lower urinary tract symptoms to bowel symptoms. In this report, we described the clinical findings, classical radiological features and treatment in an elderly male patient with pelvic lipomatosis.

We present a case of hemifacial hyperplasia in an infant manifesting predominantly as lipomatosis and hemihypertrophy of the maxilla. To our knowledge, there is only 1 other case report in the literature demonstrating the MR imaging features of this condition. Our case was manifest almost exclusively as lipomatosis, largely lacking muscular hypertrophy/hyperplasia.

lipomatosis of the nerve, also known as fibrolipomatous hamartoma, is characterized by the infiltration of the nerve by fibro-fatty tissue. the affected nerve becomes thicker, and it simulates a mass lesion. lipomatosis usually affects the median nerve and lipomatosis of the sciatic nerve is extremely rare. magnetic resonance imaging (mri) is the key to diagnosis, and it is usually pathognomoni...

Thyroid lipomatosis is a rare benign disease with very few cases available in literature. We report case of 48 year old Indian male who presented progressive swelling front neck since 5 years and difficulty breathing lying down position along swallowing for the last 2 months. He known post renal transplantation chronic kidney due to secondary AA amyloidosis. Total thyroidectomy was done histopa...

Renal replacement lipomatosis of the kidney is characterized by renal sinus and perirenal fat proliferation. It is associated with chronic infection and calculi, commonly central, often obstructing. The kidney may be large or small but is usually nonfunctioning. Most of the renal parenchyma has been replaced by fat, pararenal fascia are thickened, and there may be fistulae. We reported radiolog...

Renal replacement lipomatosis is a rare condition that when arises usually presents as back or flank pain, dysuria, or an abdominal mass. We present a case of renal replacement lipomatosis that presented instead as a chronic back wound. Given that this pathology is readily treated with surgical intervention when performed in a timely manner, it is important to consider this as a possible diagno...
