Summary
Urinary bladder lipomas are rare benign tumors. Radiologists can diagnose these by identifying specific imaging features like homogeneous hypoattenuation on CT scans.
Area of Science:
- Urology
- Radiology
- Pathology
Background:
- Urinary bladder lipomas are uncommon benign neoplasms.
- Diagnosis often relies on characteristic imaging findings.
Observation:
- A case of urinary bladder lipoma is presented.
- The lesion exhibited endophytic growth and homogeneous hypoattenuation on imaging.
Findings:
- Imaging features suggestive of lipoma were identified.
- Surgical resection and subsequent anatomo-pathological analysis confirmed the diagnosis.
Implications:
- Radiologists can diagnose urinary bladder lipomas based on typical imaging features.
- Distinguishing lipomas from other submucosal bladder neoplasms is crucial for accurate diagnosis and management.

The urinary bladder is a hollow, muscular sac that temporarily stores urine before it is expelled from the body. It can hold approximately 600 mL of urine prior to micturition. The bladder is retroperitoneal and located behind the pubic symphysis in the pelvic floor.
In males, the bladder is situated in front of the rectum, while in females, it is positioned anterior to the vagina and uterus. The bladder floor contains an inverted triangular area called the trigone, defined by the two ureteric...

The lower urinary system consists of the urinary bladder and urethra, which are essential in storing and expelling urine from the body. Together with the internal and external sphincters, these structures work together to regulate urination effectively.Anatomy of the BladderThe urinary bladder is a muscular, stretchable organ behind the pubic bone and in front of the rectum. In females, the bladder is positioned anterior to the vagina and inferior to the uterus, while in males, it is located...
