59 year old male with cellulitis of the foot. There is nonenhancing reticulation of the subcutaneous fat of the ankle, particularly anterolaterally, indicating edema. Additional nonenhancing edema is noted within the dorsal subcutaneous fat of the midfoot extending into the forefoot off the field of view of this study. We see no fluid collection in the soft tissue to suggest an abscess.Bone marrow signal is normal without evidence of osteomyelitis. We see no gross tendon or ligament abnormality. There is a small amount of fluid in the tibiotalar joint but no large effusion. Mild osteoarthritis affects the talonavicular joint.
Nonspecific ankle and foot edema without evidence of abscess or osteomyelitis.
