Altered (fluid-like) signal replacing the normal fat signal in the quadriceps fat pad. The posterior margin of the quadriceps fat pad is mildly convex, which is indicative of mass effect over the suprapatellar recess. Minimal joint effusion.
Case Discussion
These findings are consistent with quadriceps fat pad impingement syndrome.
