Abstract
Abstract Adolescent patients frequently experience hematomas after injury, which usually resolve spontaneously in healthy individuals. Hematomas can present with a spectrum of clinical manifestations, from being asymptomatic to causing visible swelling. We describe the case of a 17-year-old female who developed an isolated pretibial hematoma on her left leg, which became infected with Streptococcus dysgalactiae. The large lesion was initially misdiagnosed as cellulitis. Close observation of her leg’s status and antibiotic response, prompt surgical intervention, and proper wound management likely contributed to her full recovery.
