“…Other forms of presentation are the heterogeneous and the mixed echogenicity (anechoic and hypoechoic) forms. 1,10,11,18,27,28,[31][32][33][34][35][36][37][38] The mixed echogenicity pilomatrixoma is also called cystic or bullous pilomatrixoma, and its appearance is usually caused by internal bleeding. The latter form of presentation may be tricky clinically because it is softer in palpation than the usual pilomatrixoma.…”

“…In children with ≥5 cutaneous hemangiomas, it is crucial to study the liver because it has been reported that liver hemangiomas are more likely to be present in these patients. Furthermore, congenital syndromes with brain and spinal abnormalities should be ruled out in children with hemangiomas in the midline [ 1 , 10 , 11 , 22 , 23 , 37 , 52 – 59 ].…”

Dermatologic ultrasound is a new field of ultrasonography that has been growing exponentially in the last ten years. It has multiple applications that can modify patient management such as benign and malignant cutaneous tumors, vascular anomalies, inflammatory dermatologic entities, aesthetic complications, and nail lesions.Compared with other imaging techniques such as CT or MRI, ultrasound has the highest axial spatial resolution and has benefited from developing high and ultrahigh frequency probes that could even reach 70 MHz.The daily use of ultrasonography in dermatology has been reported to improve the accuracy of the diagnoses, the tracking of activity and the assessment of severity in common dermatologic conditions, which certainly can support a better treatment of the patients.

“…Pilomatricomas present as areas surrounded by high echoic areas, accompanied by areas with high echoic small foci due to small calcifications (Figure 2D). Pilomatricomas are often attached to the dermis due to their hair matrix cell origin 4 . In malignant lesions, skin metastasis of a neuroblastoma can appear as a solid hypoechoic mass in ultrasound without calcification 4 .…”

ObjectivesCervical chondrocutaneous branchial remnants (CCBRs) and dermal lesions, such as epidermoid cysts or brachial anomalies, including lateral cervical cysts/sinuses or dermal sinuses of anterior chest lesions, are usually located at the lower neck at the anterior or posterior border of the sternocleidomastoid muscle (SCM). We aimed to demonstrate the usefulness of ultrasonography in the differential diagnosis and evaluation of CCBRs.MethodsWe evaluated 22 lesions of 20 pediatric patients, classified into CCBR and dermal lesion groups. We used Fisher's exact test to evaluate differences between these groups in terms of lesion shape (low‐echoic mass‐ or tubular‐like), whether the lesion was adjacent to/in contact with the SCM or not, and the presence or absence of a concave SCM caused by the lesion.ResultsOf the 22 lesions, 8 were CCBRs, and 14 were dermal lesions. We found a significant difference in the presence/absence of adjacency to or contact with the SCM (presence/absence of adjacency to or contact with the SCM in CCBRs vs that in dermal lesions: 6/2 vs 1/13, P = .002) and presence/absence of lesion‐induced concavity of the SCM (presence/absence of lesion‐induced concavity of the SCM in CCBRs vs that in dermal lesions: 3/5 vs 0/14, P = .036). The lesion shape (low‐echoic mass‐like/tubular‐like lesions) did not significantly differ between the two study groups (low‐echoic mass‐like/tubular‐like lesions in CCBRs vs that in dermal lesions: 5/3 vs 11/6, P = .624).ConclusionsCCBRs have a strong association with the SCM. These sonographic findings may be useful in the differential diagnosis of dermal cervical lesions.
