“…In this case, H&E histologic examination showed a tumor consisting of thin- and thick-walled blood vessels in a background of smooth muscle proliferation. Having numerous blood vessels may pretend other benign vascular tumors such as hemangioma, hemangiopericytoma, hemangioendothelioma, vascular malformation, and other neurovascular hamartomas [ 29 ], but a definite examination could rule out these lesions because of the smooth muscle background. Immunohistochemically markers like SMA and MSA (muscle-specific actin) can be useful in identification of smooth muscle nature of the cellular stroma [ 15 , 30 , 31 ].…”

Angioleiomyoma is a benign neoplasia originating from vascular smooth muscle and very uncommon in the oral cavity. In this report, we present a rare case of angioleiomyoma in oral cavity in a 46-year-old female buccal cheek and discuss the clinical, histological, and immunohistochemical characteristics. As the treatment of choice is the complete excision, the lesion was excised under local anesthesia with no further complications. In addition, a brief update on other reported cases of angiomyoma in the oral cavity is further discussed.

“…Dermoid cysts are congenital lesions that contain an array of mature tissues, such as skin and its adnexa (hair, sebaceous lobules, eccrine and apocrine glands). 16 This type of cyst is commonly diagnosed during infancy or early childhood as a discrete, subcutaneous nodule, usually 1-4 cm in diameter. They are often located at periorbital, nasal, submental, and suprasternal areas, along an embryonic fusion plane, because they correspond to ectodermal inclusions during early embryogenesis.…”

High‐resolution ultrasound (HRUS) is an important diagnostic method in dermatology, especially in pediatric population. The most common type of cutaneous cysts in children corresponds to cysts with stratified squamous epithelium (CSSE). The objective is to present the different ultrasonographic appearance of histologically proven CSSE in a retrospective review. Epidermoid, milium, trichilemmal, dermoid, and pilonidal cyst and steatocystomas are included. Utility of HRUS in diagnosis of cutaneous lesions is well established. It is important to know—and stay updated—about the wide spectrum of ultrasonographic appearance of CSSE in order to avoid misleading diagnoses.

“…Sonographically, it appears as a well‐defined, oval‐shaped, anechoic, and avascular lesion, usually located beneath the galea or the periosteum (Figure ). Echogenic foci within the tumor and perilesional blood vessels can be identified . The underlying bone surface can appear excavated or eroded.…”

“…Echogenic foci within the tumor and perilesional blood vessels can be identified. 15 The underlying bone surface can appear excavated or eroded. Ultrasound has demonstrated its ability in differentiating dermoid cysts from vascularized entities 16 and may also help detecting connections with the intracranial space.…”

In the first article in this series, we reviewed cutaneous ultrasound and its benefits and limitations as a noninvasive diagnostic tool in the pediatric setting. The sonographic findings of lumps and bumps and inflammatory conditions were discussed. In this second article, we review ultrasonographic findings of developmental anomalies and vascular lesions. | DE VELOPMENTAL ANOMALIE S | Cutaneous markers of dysraphismWell-recognized cutaneous markers of cranial dysraphism include the hair collar sign (HCS) (Figure 1), congenital hair tuft of the scalp (HTS), 1 large areas of aplasia cutis congenita (> 5 cm) 2 (Figure 2), and midline dermoid cyst. When these findings are present, a cerebral magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is indicated. 1,3 Similarly, in the lumbosacral area, lipoma, infantile hemangioma greater than 2.5 cm (Figure 3), dermoid cyst or dermal sinus, aplasia cutis, acrochordon, and pseudotail or true tail are considered high-risk cutaneous markers of occult spinal dysraphism, and MRI is mandatory. For intermediate-risk cutaneous markers of spinal dysraphism such as atypical dimple, infantile hemangioma smaller than 2.5 cm, and hypertrichosis, ultrasonography is recommended in patients younger than 6 months and MRI in older patients. 3 High-frequency ultrasongraphy (HFUS) might be a helpful adjunct when approaching cutaneous markers of dysraphism, allowing assessment during the first visit, avoiding sedation and diagnostic delay, and helping to triage the urgency of further management. It can identify a range of pathologies including bone defects (Figure 2), cephaloceles, 4 atretic cephaloceles, 5,6 brain tissue heterotopia, sinus pericranii (Figure 2), as well as dermoid cysts, and their potential extension to underlying intracranial structures (Figure 3).There are few descriptions of the sonographic appearance of aplasia cutis congenita. It appears as a focal thinning of the dermis and, sometimes, of the subcutis. 7 When involving the underlying bone (20%-30% of the cases), 8 a discontinuation of the hyperechoic thick line representing the skull is detected (Figure 2). We have observed increased echogenicity in the upper part of the hypodermis immediately underlying the defect, possibly subsequent to a cicatricial process (Figure 1). Bullous aplasia cutis shows a superficial anechoic area, with a convex thin roof. | Dysraphisms and sinus pericraniiA cephalocele consists of a herniation of meningeal and/or neuroglial tissue through a congenital cranial defect. Clinically, it Abstract High-frequency ultrasonography represents a promising tool for pediatric dermatologists. It is a noninvasive and harmless diagnostic technique that is especially appealing when working with children. It can be easily performed at the patient's bedside, avoiding diagnostic delays, sedation, or multiple visits. It represents a useful adjunct to clinical examination and aids our understanding of cutaneous pathology. In this second part, we describe the ultrasonographic findings of developmental anomalies and vascular lesion...
