Redness, swelling and pain. Evaluate for cellulitis, necrotizing fasciitis and abscess. There is thickening of the skin along the posterolateral aspect of the right hip and upper thigh. There is reticulation of underlying subcutaneous fat, with enhancement on postcontrast imaging. These findings are compatible with cellulitis. We see no fluid collection. The underlying musculature appears normal. We see no finding to suggest osteomyelitis. We see no specific evidence of necrotizing fasciitis.Evaluation of the pelvis is limited on this femur study; note is made of bladder diverticula.
Cellulitis, without evidence of abscess or specific imaging findings of necrotizing fascitis.
