Abstract

Infections of the skin and subcutaneous tissue emerge as an important group of conditions with high morbidity in pediatric ages, often related to trauma and foreign bodies. This is a case of a 6-year-old school girl with clinical signs and symptoms suggestive of cellulitis in her right thigh; because of its torpid evolution, an ultrasonographic study was indicated, which confirmed the etiologic diagnosis of a cellulitis secondary to trauma, caused by the introduction of a large foreign body, which went unnoticed for the child’s family.
