Sonographic features of secondary involvement of skin and subcutaneous tissues by hematologic malignancies

Abstract: Objectives: To evaluate the sonographic features of secondary involvement of skin and subcutaneous tissues by hematologic malignancies.Methods: A review of the ultrasound and pathology databases yielded 10 cases with 13 skin and subcutaneous tissue lesions secondary to hematologic neoplasms, which were confirmed by pathology. We used ultrasound to assess the number, location, size, depth of involvement, echogenicity, and vascularity of the lesions. Results:The study involved five male and five female patients,… Show more

“…Soft tissue involvement characterized by the presence of multiple nodular lesions is a challenging condition because the origin of these alterations could be related to in ammatory or neoplastic cells. Soft tissue is an infrequent site of lymphoproliferative disorders and the ultrasonographic ndings are not well established nor speci c, then this clinical suspect may be not the rst [10,11]. The association between ultrasound characteristics of the soft tissue lesions and the presence of malignant lymphadenopathy, to the same side of the body, permits after all to suggest a diagnosis of malignant disease, as in our clinical case, but a complete staging with further imaging study and a speci c histological diagnosis need to be made for start a speci c therapy.…”
