Very few cases of pelvic lipomas have been reported in the literature. Due to their location and slow growth, pelvic lipomas are often asymptomatic for a prolonged time. Thus, on diagnosis, they are usually found to be of considerable size. Due to their size, pelvic lipomas can present causing bladder outlet obstruction, lymphoedema, abdominal and pelvic pain, and constipation, as well as present with deep vein thrombosis (DVT) like symptoms. Patients with cancer have a much higher risk of developing DVT. Here, we describe a case of an incidental finding of pelvic lipoma mimicking DVT in a patient with organ-confined prostate cancer. He eventually underwent simultaneous robot-assisted radical prostatectomy and lipoma excision.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1136\/bcr-2023-254813","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2023,3,27]],"date-time":"2023-03-27T11:25:13Z","timestamp":1679916313000},"page":"e254813","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1136\/crossmarkpolicy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Simultaneous excision of pelvic lipoma and robot-assisted radical prostatectomy"],"prefix":"10.1136","volume":"16","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-6799-5351","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Sabina","family":"Dranova","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Royal Surrey NHS Foundation Trust, Guildford, UK"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Danny Darlington","family":"Carbin","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Urology, Royal Surrey NHS Foundation Trust, Guildford, UK"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Matthew","family":"Perry","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Urology, Royal Surrey NHS Foundation Trust, Guildford, UK"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Wissam","family":"Abou Chedid","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Urology, Royal Surrey NHS Foundation Trust, Guildford, UK"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"239","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2023,3,27]]},"reference":[{"key":"2025082710502407000_16.3.e254813.1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","DOI":"10.1097\/GOX.0000000000003065","article-title":"Laparoscopically assisted transperineal approach in the management of a giant pelvic lipoma","volume":"8","author":"Baccarani","year":"2020","journal-title":"Plast Reconstr Surg Glob Open"},{"key":"2025082710502407000_16.3.e254813.2","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"75","DOI":"10.1186\/s13104-015-1038-7","article-title":"En-bloc resection of a giant retroperitoneal lipoma: a case report and review of the literature","volume":"8","author":"Weniger","year":"2015","journal-title":"BMC Res Notes"},{"key":"2025082710502407000_16.3.e254813.3","unstructured":"JPMA - journal of pakistan medical association. n.d.
