ABSTRACT
The incidental injection of metallic mercury into soft tissue is a rare event in the general population. Mercury can produce local inflammation, abscesses, granuloma, and membranous fat necrosis. Herein, we report a rare case of soft tissue mercury deposits with imaging findings, including magnetic resonance (MR) imaging findings, located at the mercury droplet deposits which appear as signal voids on all sequences, with surrounding intermediate to high signal intensity on the T2- weighted image.
