Giant post-traumatic cyst after closed degloving injury
Post-traumatic cysts of soft tissue usually occur at the junction of the subcutaneous fat and deep fascia, most often filled with serosanguinous fluid and lined with fibrous tissue. It appears as complication after closed degloving injuries when crushing and shearing forces cause separation of the s...
