ABSTRACT We present the case of a patient aged 36 years, with antecedents of achondroplasia who 7 months ago suffered a non serious traumatic lesion in the right knee. The volume of the lesion began to increase with a fluctuant fluid contain. It was punctured twice draining serohematic fluid; it did not solve and the size increased more and more, so the patient was said that he had a serous Morel Lavallée hematoma, produced by the friction between the subcutaneous cell tissue and fascia. Its location in the knee is infrequent and it was not found any case like this in the reviewed literature; therefore we decided to present the case. The main objective of our work was describing it, showing the procedure and efficacy of the surgical that gave a satisfactory result.

Keywords : Morel Lavallée hematoma; serous efusion.
