title: [Pelvic lipomatosis: clinical review and report of 4 new cases].
abstract: First described by the end of the fifties, pelvic lipomatosis is an uncommon disease that develops as a result of an excessive proliferation of benign fat tissue within the perivesical and perirectal spaces. The compressive effect on the urinary, and to a lesser degree, the digestive and vascular structures result in the well-known symptoms. Diagnosis is reached through X-ray studies, primarily computerised tomography. Contribution of four new cases in young males diagnosed through imaging studies as well as biopsies in three of them. Evolution has been varying, with medical control of symptoms in two cases and renal function impairment due to upper obstructive uropathy in the other two.
