The patient was then seen by urgent care five months ago, where computed tomography (CT) of the right hip showed an abnormal fluid collection in the right piriformis extending to the right acetabulum and destruction of the SI joint (Figure 1).
A CT of the right femur with contrast shows rim-enhancing fluid collection measuring 119 x 86.6 mm along the lateral aspect of the thigh.

FIG2
A CT scan of her right hip and femur with contrast showed numerous rim-enhancing fluid collections about the right hip and thigh, with the largest rim-enhancing fluid collection measuring 11.9 x 8.7 x 22.7 cm along the lateral aspect of the thigh (Figure 2). This collection insinuated superiority between the right gluteus minimus and medius muscles (Figure 2).
A CT of the right femur with contrast at a subsequent ED visit demonstrated large fluid collection findings similar to previous studies.
