“…Although hematomas caused by surgery or trauma usually resolve without sequelae, a few persist and can undergo organization into slow‐growing lesions, mimicking neoplasms. Similar lesions have occurred in various locations, including the musculoskeletal system, 2–6 the central nervous system, 7,8 and the pleural cavity 9,10 . We saw a case of CEH in the psoas muscle.…”

“…The terms ‘chronic expanding hematoma (CEH)’, 1,4–6,8–10 ‘post‐traumatic cyst of soft tissue’ 2 and ‘ancient hematoma’ 3 have been used to describe persistent hematomas manifesting as enlarging space‐occupying masses. Most of the CEH have been encapsulated and contained blood in various stages of organization.…”

“…A similar lesion in the pleural cavity is considered to be a specific type of chronic empyema or an organizing empyema caused by thoracoplasty or tuberculous pleurisy 9 . We have found 11 cases of CEH which occurred in the musculoskeletal system in the literature 2–6 . Of 11 cases, 6 showed lesions located in the perifascial tissues of the thigh and 2 in the calf.…”

Chronic expanding hematoma in the psoas muscle

We report an unusual case of chronic expanding hematoma in the psoas muscle. A 53-year-old man was admitted for evaluation of a mass shadow in the left lower lung field on chest X-rays. He had also been suffering from dull left back pain. A computed tomography scan showed a cystic lesion with a rim enhancement in the left retroperitoneal space. Mixed signal intensity in a mosaic pattern was seen on a T2-weighted magnetic resonance image. We could not rule out a suspicion of a neoplastic intratumoral hemorrhage. Due to increased pain and the definite diagnosis, surgery was performed. Histopathological examination confirmed the diagnosis of chronic expanding hematoma. The expansion process is thought to be due to the irritant effects of blood and its breakdown products, which cause repeated exudation and bleeding from capillaries in the granulation tissues.

“…Its pathogenesis seems to be related to ischemic changes secondary to previous trauma. Encapsulated fat necrosis is a well-defined entity even though several names have been proposed for this condition, including mobile encapsulated lipoma, encapsulated necrosis, or nodular-cystic fat necrosis (Bradshaw et al, 1972). Beside trauma, there are many systemic diseases that can produce this condition such as lipodermatosclerosis, erythema nodosum, necrobiosis lipoidica, sclerosing panniculitis, nodular vasculitis, complication of pancreatic disease etc.…”

R e c e i ve d Ju n e 1 1 , 2 0 1 2 ; A c c e p t e d A p r i l 8 , 2 0 1 3 . Key words: Huge cyst -Trauma -HipAbstract: Post-traumatic cysts of soft tissue usually occur at the junction of the subcutaneous fat and deep fascia, most often filled with serosanguinous fluid and lined with fibrous tissue. It appears as complication after severe injuries when crushing and shearing forces cause separation of the skin and subcutaneous fat from the deep fascia and muscle, creating a cavity filled with hematoma and liquefied fat. This rare condition calls Morel-Lavallee lesion, which was first described by this French physician in 1853 (Sterling et al., 1977;Tull and Borrelli, 2003). Magnetic resonance imaging is the modality of choice for detection and revealing the exact size and location of these lesions. The best method of treatment is surgical excision with complete resection.

Calcific myonecrosis: keys to early recognition

et al. 2003

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Calcific myonecrosis is a rare, late sequela of trauma occurring almost exclusively in the lower extremity which may be confused with an aggressive primary neoplasm. The platelike mineralization pattern seen on radiographs is characteristic but not widely recognized by clinicians. Three cases of calcific myonecrosis are reported, unique in that two presented for care following infection and that one had extended to involve the muscle compartments of the foot, a previously unreported site.
