Figure 3: Skin and soft tissue abscesses at the right thigh, groin, buttock and the left elbow demonstrated on MRI on the febrile middle-aged man with disseminated nocardiosis. A/B: An 4 intramuscular abscess collection within the right gracilis muscle with surrounding edema. C/D: Small collection is noted within the subcutaneous fat overlying the right sartorius and iliacus muscle at the right groin region. E/F: A small collection within the subcutaneous fat overlying the postero-lateral aspect of the right gluteus maximus. G/H: Extensive area of subcutaneous hyperintense theta signal seen in the posterior aspect of the elbow joint; focal thick wall fluid collection with layering noted in the subcutaneous layers.
