OBJECTIVE: The purpose of this report is to describe clinical, pathologic, and MRI findings on decubital ischemic fasciitis, which is a rare soft-tissue tumor sarcoma simulator. CONCLUSION: Decubital ischemic fasciitis is a reactive, nonneoplastic lesion typically seen in older debilitated patients at pressure points. Because this lesion simulates soft-tissue sarcoma, both clinically and histologically, it is important to recognize the MRI features and limit misdiagnosis of sarcoma.
