Development and distribution of adipose tissue in the human pelvis.
The development of the pelvic adipose tissue was studied using 300-600 microns thick sections through the pelves of 9-37-week-old fetuses and newborn children. During fetal life three different anlagens of adipose tissue appear within the pelvic cavity. Development and topography of these anlagens are described, and correlations with the development of the connective tissue compartments within the pelvis were demonstrated.
