Bladder lipoma associated with urinary tract infection.
Lipomas are benign overgrowths of adipose tissue. They are an unusual finding within the bladder wall. There have been five reports[1,2] of bladder lipomas associated with micro- and macroscopic haematuria. We report, to our knowledge, the first bladder lipoma associated with a microbiologically confirmed urinary tract infection.
