Fat within the Urinary Bladder Wall

Intramural fat in the urinary bladder typically appears as a thin low-attenuation band along the anterior and superior portions of the urinary bladder. It is seen in about 2% of cases, and is more common in men. It can be a normal histological finding that can be seen on CT in patients with nondistended urinary bladders.
