Axial (a) STIR and (b) contrast-enhanced fat-suppressed SE T1w images of the legs of a 55-year-old male with non-complicated cellulitis of the left leg. MRI demonstrates diffuse thickening of the subcutaneous soft tissues with increased fluid content infiltration of the fascia superficialis enhancing after contrast material injection, more severe on the antero-medial part of the leg (arrow). Note the inflammatory infiltration along the interface between the hypodermis and the deep peripheral fascia which conserve normal thickness and signal (arrowheads)
