Reason: see MRI hip; has mass just superior-medial to ischial spine and thigh fullness; eval for mass or soft tissue deformity History: see above Left hip:Markers were placed along the anterolateral margin of the left hip region. Just above these markers, at the level of the left iliac crest, is a 6.0 x 3.0 x 4.8 cm collection of fat signal intensity within the subcutaneous tissues which may represent a lipoma. We see no enhancement of this mass on postcontrast sequences. We see no additional mass lesions on the postcontrast images. Please note that this study was not protocoled for detailed evaluation of the labrum, however, there is mild heterogeneity of the signal intensity within the superior labrum which could represent a labral tear, but the clinical significance of this is uncertain. There is a small amount of fluid within the hip without evidence of a large effusion. On the large field-of-view images, mild osteoarthritis affects the sacroiliac joints bilaterally. Facet joint osteoarthritis affects the lower lumbar spine. There are multiple presumed uterine fibroids.Left femur/thigh:We see no soft tissue mass within the thigh. The signal intensity of the soft tissues of the thigh is within normal limits. The signal intensity of the femur is normal. Osteoarthritis affects the knee.
Lipoma situated within the subcutaneous soft tissues along the lateral aspect of the left iliac crest corresponding to the patient's palpable area of concern. Other findings as described above.
