Abstract
A 65‐year‐old man presented with a soft mass in his proximal right thigh. Ultrasonography showed a well‐defined anechoic lesion with slightly internal echoes. On MRI, the mass was hypointense and minimally hyperintense compared with muscle at T1 and hyperintense at T2, with a hypointense peripheral rim on both sequences. No signal loss was observed on T1‐weighted fat‐suppression MRI. The clinical setting, imaging findings and histopathological features were consistent with a long‐standing Morel‐Lavallée lesion.Keywords
