Reason: ? Osteomyelitis, abscess History: ulceration Markers were placed along the anteromedial aspect of the lower leg. There is irregularity of the soft tissues between the markers likely representing the patient's site of ulceration. There is mild enhancement of the adjacent skin suggesting inflammation. There is edema and perhaps some fluid within the underlying subcutaneous fat, but we see no rim-enhancing collection in the surrounding soft tissues to suggest abscess formation. There is diffuse subcutaneous edema involving the leg. There is mild nonenhancing edema-type signal within the musculature of the leg which may reflect mild atrophy. The bone marrow signal intensity of the tibia and fibula is normal. We see no findings to suggest osteomyelitis. There is also subcutaneous edema involving the right leg as seen on the large field-of-view images.
Soft tissue ulceration and edema without evidence of osteomyelitis or abscess.
