“…Oyewumi et al published ultrasound findings that more likely identified a TGDC than DC. The seven identifying features are internal septae, irregular cyst wall, ill‐defined margin, solid components, smaller distance from the base of the tongue, the presence of a tract, and intralesional Doppler flow . Each finding is scored as 0 or 1, and a total score ≥ 2 is highly suggestive of TGDC …”

“…Ultrasound confirmed the lesions to be well defined, homogenous, and hypoechoic cystic lesions ( Figure 1C Each finding is scored as 0 or 1, and a total score ≥ 2 is highly suggestive of TGDC. 4 Midline anterior neck inclusion cyst clinically resembles a giant milium in the midline anterior neck. This superficial location differentiates it clinically from DC.…”

We report a case of dermoid cysts on the right lateral eyebrow and anterior neck. Multiple concurrent dermoid cysts, as in the present case, are very rare. The differential diagnosis of dermoid cyst includes epidermoid (epidermal inclusion) cyst, trichilemmal cyst, pilomatrixoma, lymphatic malformation, and lipoma. In particular, thyroglossal duct cyst and midline anterior neck inclusion cyst are part of the differential diagnosis when the lesion is in the anterior neck.

“…A thyroglossal duct cyst is usually hypoechoic, homogeneous, and well circumscribed on 2D US but may contain internal material of low echogenicity due to proteinaceous fluid secreted by the epithelial lining, internal hemorrhage, or cellular debris (Figure A). It may also have septa, irregular walls, and solid components . Preoperative imaging is performed to precisely locate it anatomically, to look for ectopic thyroid tissue, and to visualize possible evidence of malignancy .…”

Ultrasonography (US) of the neck is an accepted, useful imaging modality for many applications beyond its usefulness in thyroid disease. Two-dimensional US has been effectively used for evaluation of many types of neck conditions, and now, 3-dimensional US can be added to the imaging armamentaria. Three-dimensional US is useful in the evaluation of cervical lymph nodes, recurrent/residual thyroid neoplasia, parathyroid glands, parotid and submandibular glands, as well as thyroglossal duct cysts and other assorted palpable and visible abnormalities because of its unique capabilities, including multiplanar reconstruction, accessibility of the coronal view, volume calculation, and regularly spaced incremental slice evaluation.

“…Como tiene un origen en la fase embrionaria puede dejar un festoneado sobre el hueso subyacente lo que suele indicar que requiere una extirpación más cuidadosa. Cuando se encuentran en otras localizaciones como la línea media cervical requieren el diagnóstico diferencial con otro tipo de lesiones como los quistes del conducto tirogloso y recientemente se ha descrito que la presencia de algunas características ecográficas como los septos, paredes irregulares y componente sólido en el interior sugiere un quiste tirogloso (6).…”

Características ecográficas de la patología tumoral benigna cutánea más frecuente ResumenLa ecografía cutánea es una técnica diagnóstica en expansión en dermatología debido al desarrollo de nuevas sondas de alta frecuencia que permiten visualizar con mayor resolución la epidermis y la dermis superficial. Como ventajas destacan que es no invasiva, es coste-efectiva, dinámica y accesible para realizarla en la consulta de dermatología porque ha demostrado mejorar la sensibilidad y especificidad diagnóstica. En esta revisión se analizan las características ecográficas de las lesiones tumorales cutáneas benignas más frecuentes que permitan realizar una adecuada correlación clínico-ecográfica. Además esta técnica permite obtener información sobre la localización de la lesión, tamaño, relación con otras estructuras anatómicas importantes para planificar el tratamiento quirúrgico, naturaleza sólida o quística o el componente vascular. También puede ser útil para monitorizar la evolución de algunas enfermedades o el control tras tratamientos médicos o quirúrgicos. AbstractCutaneous sonography is an expanding diagnostic technique in dermatology due to the development of new high-frequency probes for viewing at higher resolution the epidermis and superficial dermis. This technique has many advantages as noninvasive, dynamic, cost-effective and accessible to be performed on dermatology clinic because has shown to improve diagnostic sensitivity and specificity. In this review the ultrasound characteristics of the most common benign skin tumor are analyzed to allow an adequate clinical-sonographic correlation. Furthermore this technique provides information on the location of the lesion, size, relative to other important anatomical structures for planning surgical treatment, solid or cystic nature or vascular component. It may also be useful for monitoring the development of certain diseases or treatments control. Sonographic features of benign common skin tumors INTRODUCCIÓNEl diagnóstico diferencial de la patología tumoral cutánea benigna no suele ser complejo en la mayoría de los casos, sin embargo la utilización de la ecografía cutánea puede proporcionar información muy interesante, no accesible a la exploración clínica convencional, relativa a la localización de la lesión, tamaño, relación con otras estructuras anatómicas importantes para planificar el tratamiento quirúrgico, naturaleza sólida o quística o el componente vascular. Además se ha demostrado que el uso de la ecografía incrementa la sensibilidad y especificidad en el diagnóstico de estas lesiones y permite realizar una evaluación temporal de las lesiones analizando posibles cambios o respuestas a tratamientos médicos o quirúrgicos. El desarrollo de nuevas sondas de frecuencia superiores a 15MHz y el Doppler color permite un estudio óptimo, aunque la evaluación de lesiones cutáneas epidérmicas con un tamaño inferior a 0,1 mm sigue siendo una limitación para esta técnica. Otras ventajas conocidas de la ecografía son que no es invasiva, no utiliza radiación ioni...
