title: Pelvic lipomatosis: 5-year followup.
abstract: Followup of 5 cases presented in 1971 and report of 8 additional cases confirm the initial conclusions that pelvic lipomatosis is a benign but potentially progressive process leading to ureteral obstruction. Young black subjects are affected most commonly. More than 40 per cent of the patients have required permanent urinary diversion.
