Complex, subcutaneous mass Hyperemia around the mass Hypoechoic tract may be seen extending from the cyst to the skin surface
SONOGRAPHIC FINDINGS OF TENDONITIS
Diffuse: enlarged, hypoechoic tendon Focal: localized, enlarged hypoechoic area within the tendon Fluid may be noted Hyperemic flow may be noted
SONOGRAPHIC FINDINGS OF DEVELOPMENTAL DYSPLASIA OF THE INFANT HIP
Femoral head located completely outside the acetabulum (complete dislocation) Partially coverage of the femoral head by the acetabulum (subluxation) Evidence of a shallow acetabulum (<50% coverage of femoral head) Small alpha angle (Graf technique) Large beta angle (Graf technique)
CLINICAL FINDINGS OF DEVELOPMENTAL DYSPLASIA OF THE INFANT HIP
History of breech birth Family history of DDH Asymmetric skinfolds on the legs Leg length discrepancy Limited limb abduction Positive Barlow or Ortolani test
SONOGRAPHIC FINDINGS OF A SUPERFICIAL HEMANGIOMA
Hypoechoic Blood flow may be detectable with color Doppler
SONOGRAPHIC FINDINGS OF GYNECOMASTIA
Hypoechoic mass posterior to the areola May have a triangular shape
SONOGRAPHIC FINDINGS OF CELLULITIS
Hypoechoic, edematous strands within the soft tissue (cobblestone appearance)
SONOGRAPHIC FINDINGS OF A SUPERFICIAL ABSCESS
Hypoechoic, edematous strands within the soft tissue (cobblestone appearance) Focal fluid collection that is often complex, denoting the abscess A peripheral rim of hyperemia may be detectable with color Doppler
SONOGRAPHIC FINDINGS OF MASTITIS
Ill-defined areas of echogenicity Diffuse edema Hypoechoic fluid within the subcutaneous tissue that outlines the fat lobules Breast skin thickening greater than 2 mm Enlarged lymph nodes may be present
CLINICAL FINDINGS OF HIP JOINT EFFUSION
Leg and knee pain Reluctance to walk Irritability Low-grade fever Mild leukocytosis
SONOGRAPHIC FINDINGS OF A GANGLION CYST
Noncompressible, anechoic mass with acoustic enhancement May contain debris or septations
CLINICAL FINDINGS OF A TENDON RUPTURE
Pain Edema Audible snap may be heard
CLINICAL FINDINGS OF TENDONITIS
Pain Painful region may be swollen Painful region may be warm to touch
CLINICAL FINDINGS OF MASTITIS
Pain Swelling Warmth and redness in the area Fever Leukocytosis
CLINICAL FINDINGS OF A GANGLION CYST
Palpable mass most often located along the dorsal aspect of the hand or wrist Can be painful
CLINICAL FINDINGS OF A GALACTOCELE
Palpable, periareolar mass Possible pain
SONOGRAPHIC FINDINGS OF A BREAST ABSCESS
Palpable, tender lump Complex, focal mass that contains debris
SONOGRAPHIC FINDINGS OF A TENDON RUPTURE
Partial tears: appear as focal hypoechoic areas within the tendon Complete tears: seen as an anechoic or heterogeneous area within the tendon, often indicative of a hematoma; may also be sonographically identified as refractive shadowing in the area of the separated tendon, with fat, a hematoma, or granulomatous material filling in the gap created by the tear
SONOGRAPHIC FINDINGS OF ACHILLES TENDON RUPTURE
Partial tears: appear as focal hypoechoic areas within the tendon Complete tears: seen as an anechoic or heterogeneous area within the tendon, often indicative of a hematoma; may also be sonographically identified as refractive shadowing in the area of the separated tendon, with fat, a hematoma, or granulomatous material filling in the gap created by the tear
CLINICAL FINDINGS OF CELLULITIS
Red, tender, warm area of the skin Possible elevated white blood cell count (especially with abscess development)
SONOGRAPHIC FINDINGS OF GALACTOCELE
Round, complex mass May contain a fluid-fluid level
CLINICAL FINDINGS OF A SUPERFICIAL EPIDERMAL CYST
Visible, palpable mass just under the skin Pain and redness in the area
