description | While conventional lipomas represent the most commonly seen benign mesenchymal tumor in adults, their occurrence in the bladder wall is exceptionally rare. This report details a rare case of a bladder lipoma, a benign tumor primarily composed of mature adipocytes, presenting as gross hematuria in a 68-year-old male. Despite the patient's previous history of left nephrectomy, no significant pathological findings were initially observed. The bladder lipoma was detected via cystoscopy as a polypoid mass on the posterior bladder wall and confirmed through transurethral resection of the bladder tumor (TUR-BT). Histopathological analysis verified the mass as a bladder lipoma composed of mature adipocytes. Following a specific postoperative follow-up period, no recurrence of the tumor was observed, suggesting successful treatment. This case underscores the clinical significance of considering bladder lipoma in differential diagnoses of bladder tumors, especially in patients presenting with gross hematuria, given its exceptional rarity. |
