61-year-old woman with history of cellulitis, evaluate for osteomyelitis. There is significant subcutaneous soft tissue edema seen circumferentially around the lower half of the left leg within the area of ulceration and overlying bandage material along the anteromedial aspect of the distal tibia. There is no abnormality in the signal of the underlying tibia. There is no discrete fluid collection identified and no significant abnormal enhancement.A focus of abnormal signal in the lateral patellar facet is likely related to articular cartilage defect with a subchondral cyst.
Soft tissue edema with ulceration over the anteromedial lower leg, but no evidence of osteomyelitis or underlying abscess.
