Abstract
We present a patient with an asymptomatic unilateral swelling of the anterolateral thigh. MRI showed hypertrophy of the tensor fasciae latae muscle due to an underlying gluteus minimus tendon tear.Abductor tendon tears can present with swelling of the thigh due to secondary tensor fasciae latae muscle hypertrophy. © BMJ Publishing Group Ltd (unless otherwise stated in the text of the article) 2017.
