| Popis: | A healthy, 21-year-old football player presented to the athletic trainer with pain and swelling over anteromedial aspect of his lower right leg after being “cleated”. Physical examination revealed a hematoma, ecchymosis, and no unusual sensations. The physician’s physical examination revealed a superficial fluid filled collection, ecchymosis, minimal discomfort with palpation and no muscular deficiencies. MRI results revealed an organized collection of fluid in the subcutaneous tissue, confirming a Morel Lavallee lesion. The fluid collection resolved, without aspiration, and the athlete finished the season without further complications due the interprofessional collaboration between medical staff. |
