Morel-Lavallée lesion is a result of the traumatic separation of the superficial tissue from the adjacent fascia creating a potential space that may be filled with fluid. Although it is not a rare lesion, the oftenly misdiagnosed nature of the disease necessitates its radiological features to be reviewed in detail. Not only the classical location of the lesion but also the characteristic imaging findings should direct the diagnosis by preventing any morbidity stemming from misdiagnosis.
