Leg pain and swelling Left: Note that evaluation of the left proximal femur is limited secondary to metallic susceptibility artifact from the patient's left hip arthroplasty. There is diffuse skin thickening and subcutaneous edema of the medial compartment of the thigh. Scattered pockets of lobulated fluid are identified within the medial compartment particularly proximally at level of the sartorius. There is no definite abnormal signal intra or intermuscularly. Following contrast enhancement, there is mild diffuse soft tissue enhancement and mild peripheral enhancement of these lobulated, simple fluid collections but no findings suspicious for abscess. There is no abnormal marrow signal intensity.Right: There is diffuse skin thickening and subcutaneous edema of the medial compartment of the thigh.

Diffuse skin thickening, subcutaneous edema, and inflammation of the medial compartment of the thighs bilaterally. There are scattered lobulated pockets of fluid signal intensity within the medial compartment which may be reactive in nature or reflect areas of of surgical intervention however there are no findings to suggest abscess.
