Value of Multimode Sonography for Assessment of Pelvic Lipomatosis Compared With Computed Tomography

Conclusions— This preliminary study has shown that the application of a multimode sonographic technique (ie, 2D, 3D, and transrectal sonography) can provide unique evidence and imaging features of pelvic lipomatosis, which are comparable with CT for making a suggestive diagnosis of pelvic lipomatosis. Thus, multimode sonography may be the modality of choice for assessment of patients with a suspicion of lipomatosis.
