“…This relapsing tissue will show a variable degree of flow signals, particularly at the periphery, and may exhibit a mass effect over the adjacent structures or signs of direct infiltration (Figures 3-6). 34 In a study on DFSP, the recurring lesions were homogeneously hypoechoic (71% of cases) or mixed hypoechoic (20%), with an oval, lobulated, or irregular shape. 7 The well-known tentacle-like projections primary tumor ("claw" sign) were only encountered in 14% of cases.…”

Skin cancer may recur at or around the surgical site despite wide excisions. Prompt clinical and sonographic detection of local recurrence is important since subjects with relapsing melanomas or nonmelanoma malignancies can be managed efficaciously, with a relevant impact on morbidity and survival. Ultrasound is being employed with increasing frequency in the assessment of skin tumors, but most of the published articles relate to initial pretherapeutic diagnosis and staging. This review aims to offer an illustrated guide to the sonographic evaluation of locally recurring skin cancer. We introduce the topic, then we provide some sonographic tips for patient follow‐up, then we describe the ultrasound findings in case of local recurrence, illustrating the main mimickers, and finally, we mention the role of ultrasound in guiding diagnostic and therapeutic percutaneous procedures.
