Prevesical xanthogranulomatous pseudotumor.

We describe a patient who was referred to our hospital because of dysuria, frequency and a palpable mass in the suprapubic area. A specimen obtained at suprapubic exploration consisted of fatty tissue and tentative diagnosis was pelvic lipomatosis. The symptoms persisted and the entire mass was removed from its prevesical pelvic position. The pathological report was xanthogranuloma. Postoperatively, the symptoms disappeared.
