Radiographs reportedly are normal.
However, a bone scan reportedly shows abnormal increased activity in the area of the right lesser trochanter. T1 Se, dual echo T2 Se, and fast STIR coronal as well as T1 SE and T2 weighted fasst SE axial imaging sequences were performed. An irregular right thigh soft tissue fluid collection is noted just medial to the right femur at the level of the trochanter surrounded by intense soft tissue edema or inflammation. Abnormality of the medial aspect of the medullary bone of the femur is noted. The soft tissue abnormality is most consistent with an abscess.
