“…The clinical and sonographic differential diagnosis of SGA should include other entities that appear in the pretibial area in children such as encapsulated hematoma, a hyperechoic mass that subsequently becomes an anechoic lesion due to liquefactive necrosis; fat necrosis, a hyperechoic nodule in the subcutaneous tissue with fuzzy margins, a surrounding hypoechoic halo, and little vascularity on color Doppler; or nodular fasciitis, a dermo‐hypodermic or fascial oval nodule with a heterogeneous pattern of hypoechoic areas juxtaposed with hyperechoic streaks, posterior acoustic enhancement, and high color Doppler flow internally …”

Subcutaneous granuloma annulare is a benign inflammatory disorder that primarily affects healthy children and manifests as a rapidly growing, painless, nonmobile mass, most commonly located in the leg. The current case highlights the sonographic appearance of subcutaneous granuloma annulare. Ultrasound color Doppler is a helpful noninvasive imaging test that may allow physicians to confirm the diagnosis of subcutaneous granuloma annulare and avoid unnecessary medical procedures.

“…To study the characteristic ultrasonographic features of NF will help to establish preoperative diagnostic criteria and to avoid unnecessary operation. We have reported a case of subcutaneous NF and reviewed the differences between intradermal and subcutaneous types on US including present case and previous two cases [1,2]. The usefulness of high-resolution US has enabled the differences of US findings between intradermal and subcutaneous lesions.…”

To clarify the characteristic ultrasonographic findings of nodular fasciitis (NF) will help to avoid unnecessary operation. The availability of high-resolution ultrasonography (US) has enabled the discrepancies of imaging features between intradermal and subcutaneous cases, furthermore, studies of NF on power Doppler US have not been bibliographically reported. We have reported one intradermal and two subcutaneous types of NF and reviewed their characteristic imaging features on US from a dermatological viewpoint. All nodules clinically represented rapid growing and self-limited and showed the proliferative findings of the margin on both US and pathology. From a dermatologic perspective, no significant differences of gray-scale US between two types were found, but blood-flow signal on power Doppler US was more detectable in intradermal type than subcutaneous one. These findings of US may be a diagnostic tool for NF.

“…We usually perform US studies for dermatologic lesions with a high-resolution, broad-band (5MHz-18MHz) linear transducer (Nobulus Hitachi, Ltd. Tokyo, Japan). We have also reported several studies of the dermatologic field [6][7][8][9][12][13][14][15][16][17][18]. Carra et al [19] technically suggested that only light pressure should be used to avoid compressing small vessels and missing flow.…”

“…It has been indicated that the most accurate US features of lesion activity are subcutaneous tissue echogenicity and cutaneous blood flow [4,5]. In addition, tumors of dermatological superficial location, namely intradermal nodular fasciitis [6][7][8], angioleiomyoma [9,10], and primarily in dermis-seated tumors [21,22] have been reported. Well, acoustic coupler, namely SF-001 for superficial or near-field observation has been developed [11].…”

We have described the experience using the acoustic coupler for subcutaneous angiolipoma comprehensively diagnosed in the lower extremity. The feature of ultrasonography (US) image with the acoustic coupler is more clearly depicted, particularly in superficial or near-field location. The usefulness of this procedure has been demonstrated as stableness state, equipped condition, and satisfactory observation for vasculature status due to the low attenuation material as previously described. The author will also recommend the observation with acoustic coupler for dermatologic superficial lesion, especially, rough, unevenness part in hand, foot, and joint location without copious amount of gel. We will indicate that acoustic coupler is useful for the appropriate condition to depict the accurate imaging on Real-Time Tissue Elastography (RTE). The author will suggest that this procedure can contribute to the accurate US diagnosis for dermatological superficial lesion, especially dermal involvement without a generous amount of gel.
