A 57-year-old African American male presented with vague abdominal pain and bilateral flank pain. The patient was found to have bilateral hydronephrosis and significant renal function impairment secondary to pelvic lipomatosis. Pelvic lipomatosis represents a clinically-diagnosed unique cause of ureteral obstruction and subsequent renal impairment. We present a case report of newly diagnosed pelvic lipomatosis, the clinical and imaging characteristics for diagnosis, and its conservative management with serial ureteral stent exchanges.

Article Synopsis
- The study investigates the effectiveness of coated metal ureteral stents (CMUS) in treating pelvic lipomatosis-induced hydronephrosis (PLH) in 8 male patients from 2018 to 2021.
- Key inclusion criteria included excessive fat around the bladder and evidence of hydronephrosis, while patients with ureteral atresia or recurrent bladder obstruction were excluded.
- Outcomes showed a significant improvement post-operation, with decreased serum creatinine levels and reduced renal pelvis width, indicating successful management of hydronephrosis.
