Abstract:

 

Morel-Lavallee is a soft tissue lesion that occurs after trauma and is seen almost rare. The patients usually refer to the clinic with a palpable mass. In addition, lesions can be detected incidentally during imaging tests performed for different reasons after trauma. While examining the soft tissue lesions of the musculoskeletal system, especially in cases with a history of trauma, the Morel-Lavallee lesion should also be thought, and ultrasonography and magnetic resonance imaging methods that have superiority in soft tissue imaging should be used. In this case report, we aim to attract attention to the fact that MLL, which can be seen rarely, should be kept in mind in cases with pain, palpable mass and a trauma history, even if the process is chronic.

 

Morel-Lavallee lezyon, travma sonrası ortaya çıkan ve kas -iskelet sisteminde nadir görülen bir yumuşak doku lezyonudur. Olgular travma sonrası genellikle geç dönemde lezyon alanında ele gelen kitle ve bazen de ağrı şikayetleri ile kliniğe başvururlar. Bunun dışında travma sonrası farklı nedenlerle yapılan görüntülemeler sırasında rastlantısal olarak da lezyonlar saptanabilir. Radyolojik tanıda ultrasonografi ve manyetik rezonans görüntüleme öncelikle tercih edilir. Bu vaka sunumunda amacımız, nadir de olsa görülebilen bu posttravmatik lezyonların, travma öyküsü olup ağrı ve ele gelen kitle ile gelen olgularda, süreç kronik de olsa MLL’nin akılda tutulması ve ayırıcı tanıda mutlaka düşünülmesi gerektiğine dikkat çekmektir.
