Abstract
Ultrasonography has recently been used for evaluation of various conditions in Orthopaedics. Ultrasonographic examination is a noninvasive screening test especially for soft tissue masses. Ultrasonography is also a useful and essential diagnostic tool in cardiovascular disorders because real-time images of heart and vessels can be obtained. However, there have been few reports which describe ultrasonographic evaluation of tumorous lesions in digital vessels. In this paper, such lesions in two cases were evaluated by ultrasonography. An aneurysm of the digital artery is one of the definite candidates for ultrasonographic evaluation.
