Lipomatosis is a nonmalignant disease of unknown origin distinguished by overgrowth of nonencapsulated fatty tissue usually in the abdominal and pelvic cavities. Limited cases of complicated mediastino-abdominal lipomatosis have been described in the literature. We present a case of complicated diffuse lipomatosis mimicking ascites in a 65-year-old man.
