Hello
Thanks for writing to HCM
Your MRI report suggest that there is small area of altered subcutaneous fat plane in upper lateral part of thigh.
Lesion is hypo intense (dark)in T1 weighted images where as it is hyper intense(bright) in T2 weighted images. There are many differential diagnosis of swelling.
There is no abnormal focal collection.
Underlying muscles and fat planes in between muscles is also normal.
Get well soon.
Take Care
