| Abstrakt: | A 73-year-old lady presented with a three-day history of constipation, vomiting, and abdominal pain. On examination, a right femoral hernia was identified, and this was confirmed on computed tomography imaging with evidence of mechanical small bowel obstruction. There was an incidental finding of a large pelvic lipoma causing a mass effect. This lady underwent open repair of the femoral hernia. Intra-abdominal lipomatosis is a rare finding and can present itself in a variety of manifestations, or it can be identified as an incidental finding on cross-sectional imaging. Bowel obstructions, abdominal pain, lipoma, and abdominopelvic hernias are some examples of symptomatic presentations of intra-abdominal lipomas.
