Morel-Lavallée Lesion of the Elbow Region ‎in a Young Male: Case Report and ‎Literature Review

The Morel-Lavallée lesion is a fluid collection resulting from the traumatic separation ‎of the ‎subcutaneous tissue from the underlying fascia. It frequently occurs over the trochanteric ‎region but ‎may also occur in the flank, lumbosacral region, and buttock. Morel-Lavallée lesions ‎in the upper limb are rarely reported in the literature.‎ In this report, we present a case of a 42-year-old male, not known to have ‎‎any medical ‎diseases, who suffered from a post-traumatic left elbow mass that had existed for seven months before his presentation to our clinic. It is worth reporting this case to increase the awareness of ‎this little-known pathology among orthopedic surgeons. In addition, most of the Morel-Lavallée ‎lesions mentioned in the literature are located in the lower limb.‎
