A case of Post Trauamatic Soft Tissue cyst --- Morel Lavall'ee Lesion Left Thigh

Abstract

The Post Traumatic Soft Tissue Cyst-
Morel Lavall'ee Lesion- a closed soft tissue
injury produced most commonly as a
result of direct trauma with tangential impact,
which results in a cyst filled with
blood, lymph and both viable necrotic
fatty tissue studies articles on the subject
are scarce in medical literature the present
paper starts with an updated presentation
of post traumatic soft tissue cyst
of a patient who presented with a huge
chronic Benign Soft Tissue Swelling over
upper third Left thigh extending mid third
with vague pain, following traumatic
event in such clincal picture, keeping this
above diagnosis a poorly recognized investigated
entity considering it's importance-
prone for post operative recurrence
in contrast to pure Lipoma, in Differential
Diagnosis for Benign Soft Tissue
Swellings of Thigh, It has to be
evaluated with MRI considering it's huge
size, in view of delineating the anatomic
relationship of post traumatic soft tissue
cyst with underlying fascia, adjacent
structures blood vessel for
planning the appropriate line of management.
