Figure 1 Bilateral lower limb oedema and scattered skin redness, partly purplish red.

Figure 2 Ultrasonography showed an abscess in the intermuscular right calf (the range is approximately 9. 69 cm × 1.81 cm).

Figure 3 Magnetic resonance imaging of bilateral lower limbs. A: Bilateral thigh cross-sectional magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) revealed oedema and blurred muscle space in the right thigh; B: Bilateral cross-sectional MRI of the lower leg revealed subcutaneous and intermuscular space oedema and blurred muscle clearance; C: Coronal MRI images of bilateral lower legs (red arrows represent subcutaneous oedema; yellow arrows represent interstitial oedema). R: Right side; T1W1: T1-weighted images; T2W1: T2-weighted images.
