 Morel–Lavallee lesion is a closed degloving injury characterized by post–traumatic separation of subcutaneous fat plane form underlying fascia, &

thus created potential space being filled by fluid & debris of varying nature. Though originally described in the thigh, it has also been described in
other anatomical sites including lumbar region. The lesion usually presents as compressible/fluctuant swelling at traumatic site. Most of patients
present few days to few weeks after injury. However, patients with ignored slow growing painless lesions may present with long standing mass like
lesions which may need open surgical intervention. Here, we present a case of long standing Morel–Lavallee lesion of lumbar region in a patient
from remote village.
