Abstract

The tensor fascia lata is a muscular structure that forms part of the lateral portion of the pelvis and proximal thigh. Because conditions affecting this muscle have not been widely reported and are relatively unknown, hypertrophy and pseudo-hypertrophy of the tensor fascia lata, although relatively common imaging findings, often go undiagnosed; instead, radiologists perform the differential diagnosis with more complex and more dangerous conditions. This article aims to review the anatomic and functional characteristics of the tensor fascia lata, going into detail about the radiological description of this muscle and pathological conditions that can affect it, as well as reviewing the relevant literature.

Keywords:
Tensor fascia lata
Magnetic resonance imaging
Ultrasonography
Computed tomography
Musculoskeletal radiology
Resumen

El músculo tensor de la fascia lata es una estructura muscular que forma parte de la porción lateral de la pelvis y del muslo proximal. La patología de este músculo no es bien conocida y descrita en la literatura. Por el contrario, la hipertrofia y la seudohipertrofia del músculo tensor de la fascia lata son hallazgos por imagen relativamente frecuentes que a menudo no se diagnostican y entran en un diagnóstico diferencial con patologías más complejas y peligrosas. En este artículo, nuestro objetivo es describir las características anatómicas y funcionales del músculo tensor de la fascia lata, profundizando en la descripción del músculo en radiología, su patología y un resumen de la literatura sobre el tema.
