Abstract
Nineteen patients with various types of lipoma in the pelvis are described. Clinical findings, radiological examinations, and follow-up studies constitute a particular type of lipoma, diffuse infiltrating lipomatosis; this can be distinguished from other fatty tumours because of its localisation, extent, therapeutic results and long course. Computed tomography enables us to differentiate simple lipomatosis pelvis from diffuse infiltrating lipomatosis. Histological examination is essential for excluding a liposarcoma. Growth or malignant change of diffuse infiltrating lipomatosis is most easily recognized by computed tomographic serial observation.
