Abstract
Smooth muscle hamartoma (SMH) of the skin is a cutaneous benign proliferation of mature smooth muscle. Congenital SMH (CSMH) of the skin represents the most frequent type, and to date, there are no reports on its ultrasonographic pattern. A retrospective study of the color Doppler ultrasound (US) images of six CSMH patients at high and ultra-high frequencies was performed. Demographic data and US characteristics were analyzed. All cases presented a focal area of dermal thickening, decreased dermal echogenicity, and/or distorted dermal regions with prominent hair follicles. A total of 83.3% of cases showed no signs of internal vascularity at color Doppler imaging. Ultrasonographic features can support clinical diagnosis and follow-up of CSMH, which may potentially avoid biopsies.
期刊介绍：
The Journal of Ultrasound in Medicine (JUM) is dedicated to the rapid, accurate publication of original articles dealing with all aspects of medical ultrasound, particularly its direct application to patient care but also relevant basic science, advances in instrumentation, and biological effects. The journal is an official publication of the American Institute of Ultrasound in Medicine and publishes articles in a variety of categories, including Original Research papers, Review Articles, Pictorial Essays, Technical Innovations, Case Series, Letters to the Editor, and more, from an international bevy of countries in a continual effort to showcase and promote advances in the ultrasound community.
Represented through these efforts are a wide variety of disciplines of ultrasound, including, but not limited to:
-Basic Science-
Breast Ultrasound-
Contrast-Enhanced Ultrasound-
Dermatology-
Echocardiography-
Elastography-
Emergency Medicine-
