Morel-Lavallèe Lesion; An Often Missed Diagnosis

Year: 2024

Type: article

Abstract: A BSTRACT Morel-Lavallèe lesion is a closed degloving injury caused by shearing forces due to polytrauma. As this lesion is rare and can mimic many other lesions clinically, pathologically, and radiologically, its diagnosis is often missed. Delayed diagnosis can cause prolonged morbidity, worsen the outcome and complicate the treatment. Magnetic Resonance Imaging is the investigation of choice for this lesion. This case report throws light on when to suspect this lesion and also mentions the Fine Needle Aspiration Cytology findings of this lesion, literature on which is scarce.
