Abstract

Soft tissue necrosis can occur at different tissue levels, with numerous underlying causes. In this pictorial review, we highlight myonecrosis, and its accompanying stages, fat necrosis, devitalized soft tissue seen with infection, and necrotizing soft tissue infections. Imaging examples are provided with each entity.
