“…Nevertheless, to date, there are reports on the ultrasonographic appearance of some of these conditions such as vascular malformations, lipodermatosclerosis, eosinophilic fasciitis, keloids, chronic graft versus host disease, lipodystrophy, mycosis fungoides, and dermatofibrosarcoma protuberans. Eosinophilic fasciitis and chronic graft versus host disease present some similar ultrasonographic findings to morphea, which support the hypothesis that these entities may be variants of the presentation of morphea 4,5,12–18 . Table 2 summarizes the main ultrasonographic findings of active morphea and their main differential ultrasonographic diagnoses.…”

Morphea, a localized form of scleroderma, is a chronic inflammatory autoimmune disease of the skin. Color Doppler Ultrasound has been reported as a reliable tool to assess the activity of the disease. With histologically confirmed cases, this case series describes a new ultrasound sign consisting of a hyperechoic halo surrounding superficial subcutaneous veins of the extremities in transverse view, named the sun sign. This sign can help diagnose morphea in the inflammatory phase and correlate in pathology with perivascular infiltrates surrounding superficial subcutaneous veins.

“…Elrefaie et al and Lobos et al advised using high-resolution ultrasonography in scar assessment to determine the suitable treatment modality as an available, quick, and affordable method [23,24]. As VSS has a high range of the thickness parameter (< 2, 2-5, and > 5mm), the scar thickness may be reduced but with no changes in VSS, while ultrasound measures the whole scar thickness not only the superficial height as in VSS.…”

Introduction: Keloids are benign fibro-proliferative scarring extending outside the initial wound. Different modalities of treatment as intralesional corticosteroid injection, fractional CO₂ laser and others can be used either as mono or combined therapies. Objectives: To assess the role of fractional CO2 laser versus fractional CO2 laser accompanied with either triamcinolone acetonide or trichloroacetic acid 20% in keloid treatment clinically and radiologically. Methods: The current study was conducted on 45 Egyptian participants with keloid scar at different sites of the body. They were classified into three groups treated by fractional CO2 laser only (group I), fractional CO2 laser followed by triamcinolone acetonide (group II) or trichloroacetic acid application (group III) respectively. Evaluation of the keloid was done with Vancouver Scar Scale (VSS) and Color Doppler Ultrasound (CDU) before and after treatment. Four sessions, one month apart were applied for the patients. They were followed up for 8 weeks after the last session. Results: After treatment, there was high statistically significant reduction in Vancouver Scar Scale among the three groups (P value ≤ 0.001), reduction was more in group II then I then III. Also, high statistically significant reduction in keloid scar thickness assessed by Doppler was recorded (P value ≤0.001 in group II and P value ≤0.01 in group I & III). Conclusion: Combined therapy is favorable in treatment of keloids. Trichloroacetic acid is a promising modality in treating keloid; hence it can be tried in different combinations. Color Doppler Ultrasound is a promising method of keloids pre- and post-treatment assessment.

“…In this study, superficial musculoskeletal ultrasound with high resolution and low penetration power 12MHz with linear array transducer were used (31) . The ultrasound allows the noninvasive evaluation of the skin and deep layers; therefore, it can give the anatomical location, the diameters, including depth, and the vascularity (32) . It also has been shown to be reproducible and accurate in the determination of the thickness of normal and scarred skin (20) .…”

Purpose: This study aimed to evaluate the effect of intraoperative mesenchymal stem cell injection on healing outcome in secondary cleft lip correction. Patients and Methods: A total of ten patients with secondary cleft lip deformities who needed secondary cleft lip repair were included in this study. The patients were divided equally into two groups: group I (study group) were subjected to secondary cleft lip repair with immediate intraoperative bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells injection (BM-MSCs), group Ⅱ (control group) who didn't receive any type of injection neither during surgery nor after. The healing out come and scar progression were recorded through photographs and Ultrasonography (US). Results: Group I showed higher rate in primary healing outcome than that of group Ⅱ. The Ultrasound revealed statistically significant difference in scar progression in both groups. Group I showed statistically significant difference in scar measurements across time than group Ⅱ in p<0.01. Conclusion: Bone marrow mesenchymal stem cell injection in cleft lip correction has a good effect on primary healing outcome and scar progression.

Color Doppler Ultrasound Assessment of Activity in Keloids

Abstract: Color Doppler ultrasound can support the assessment of activity in keloids. Clinical evaluation alone can underestimate the activity in keloids. Relevant anatomical and subclinical features can be detected by CDU.
