Pilomatrixomas presenting as vascular tumors on color Doppler ultrasound

Clinical usefulness of variable-frequency ultrasound in localized lesions of the skin

“…In addition, blood vessels may be found to drain on a separate body segment. [22][23][24][25][26][27] When a surgical approach is being considered, preoperative ultrasound will show the exact morphology of the lesion, and its relation to thick and/or high flow vessels, or other important structures. Because ultrasound can clearly identify and clarify vascular patterns as primary (lesional localization) or secondary (extralesional distribution), it minimizes the risks of bleeding or lesion recurrence.…”

Clinical Evaluation of Color Doppler Ultrasound in Selecting the Optimal Treatment Modality for Infantile Hemangioma△

“…have been very few reports on the application of US in quantitatively analyzing hemangioma and guiding the treatment. [14][15][16][17][18] All hemangioma lesions in our study showed as a solid tumor in sonography, and were hypoechoic for small lesions, and heterogeneous for large ones. The internal texture of infantile hemangioma is more complex in sonography.…”

“…[14][15][16][17][18] In the present study, we evaluated hemangiomas with ultrasound and select treatment modality according to features of the hemagioma on sonography. The effective rate was better than those using Nd:YAG laser treatment (78.1%) alone without sonography evaluation.…”

An asymptomatic swelling on the neck

“…[7] This progressive degeneration suggests episodes of microvascular bleeding that may have led to cyst formation. [8] Based on these criteria, the tumor in our case was probably in the early regressive stage and hence presented as an atypical cystic lesion.…”
