Patient 1: A 10-year-old girl presented with a two-week history of a single blue nodule, located at the inferior aspects of her right areola (Figure 1). The lesion was superficial, soft, and smooth on palpation. On polarized dermoscopy, it showed a structureless light-blue dull color covering the entire lesion (Figure 2A). Highfrequency ultrasonography (US) revealed a lobulated, fluid-filled homogeneous anechoic mass located in the retroareolar tissue.The lesion presented a few internal septations and focal echogenic sediment and lacked any surrounding inflammatory changes. No internal vascularity was detected at power Doppler ultrasonography (PDUS) (Figure 3). The patient had an insignificant past medical history and was at PH1 (pubic hair, PH) B2 (breast, B) Tanner stage of development. Based on these findings, a diagnosis of a retroareolar cyst was made, and conservative management decided upon.The nodule remained stable at 3-month and 6-month follow-up visits, with no visible changes in color, size, or texture, either on dermoscopy or US.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
