Core Tip
Core tip: We describe a patient with pelvic lipomatosis who underwent renal transplantation due to uremia. Such patients may progressively develop obstructive uropathy which can subsequently lead to renal failure. At present, there are no reports of renal transplantation due to uremia caused by pelvic lipomatosis. The ideal management of patients with pelvic lipomatosis after renal transplantation is not yet well-established due to the lack of literature and follow-up data.
