    <jats:p> Keloid is a benign fibroblastic tumor that is most often secondary to tissue injury. The clinical presentation is a hard red or purple tumor, mostly itchy or painful. The clinical objectives are to report an ulcerated keloid secondary to a central or inner complicated epidermal inclusion cyst histologically proven and to describe the sonographic findings that permitted the diagnosis. A 29-year-old man with multiple large keloids on the chest wall presented with a two-day pain history, increased volume, and ulceration on one side. Physical examination showed a keloid with edema, peripheral erythema, and a 1-cm central ulcer with purulent discharge. On the sonogram, multiple solid dermal hypodermal pseudotumors were visualized. The lesions were well-defined hypoechogenic heterogeneous solid masses that were hypovascular with color Doppler, concordant with keloids. Within the ulcerated enlarged mass, a complicated epidermal inclusion cyst was discovered with inflammatory changes. The significance of this case lies in the very low frequency of ulceration of a keloid and the high diagnostic value of sonography to demonstrate the presence of a coexisting epidermal inclusion cyst. In the differential diagnosis of an ulcerated keloid, sonography can assist in achieving a better presurgical approach. </jats:p>

    <jats:sec><jats:title>Background</jats:title><jats:p> Lipomas are the most frequent benign tumor. They have been described as soft, well-defined, slow-growing palpable masses, and classified as deep or superficial. </jats:p></jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Purpose</jats:title><jats:p> To present the clinical and ultrasound findings of herniated superficial subcutaneous lipoma (HSL), located in pressure/support areas, not previously described. </jats:p></jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Material and Methods</jats:title><jats:p> A seven-year retrospective review was performed. Patients with a preoperative high-resolution ultrasound (HRUS) diagnosis of HSL archived in the computational system and histological study information were selected. </jats:p></jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Results</jats:title><jats:p> A total of 37 patients (mean age = 46 years) were recruited. The clinical diagnoses were “lipoma” or “suspected lipoma” in just 46% of the cases. This was three times more frequent in women. Tumors were located mainly in the gluteal (38%) and proximal thigh areas (35%). Clinically, all patients showed small, soft, rounded skin nodules. On HRUS, they appear as lipomatous tumors that protruded, compressed, and thinned the covering dermal layer. The subcutaneous portion was bigger than the herniated part, with an iceberg image. </jats:p></jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Conclusion</jats:title><jats:p> HSL in support areas have a special clinical ultrasound presentation, not previously described. It is important to recognize them for a proper diagnosis and treatment, especially because they clinically may present as small superficial lesions; however, they are associated with a larger subcutaneous portion (iceberg image). It is probable that an estrogen influence on the adipose tissue can be suspected because of the female predominance. </jats:p></jats:sec>

    <jats:p> Subungual exostosis is a rare solitary benign osteocartilaginous tumor that arises from the tuft of the distal phalanx beneath the nail. Because of its multiple clinical presentations, it is commonly underdiagnosed, resulting in delayed diagnosis and inadequate treatment. This report provides results from a 6-year retrospective study. All patients with a sonographic diagnosis of subungual exostosis confirmed surgically were selected. The data came from a series of 19 patient cases. Only 15.7% were clinically suspected. The median age was 21 years, and 63% were females. The sonographic findings were nail dystrophy, distal onycholysis, abnormal nail incurvation, subungual space enlargement, and the presence of hyperechogenic subungual image with acoustic shadowing that continued until the phalanx surface. Sonography provides an excellent diagnostic method for subungual exostosis, with findings that are pathognomonic. </jats:p>

    The purpose of this article is to describe the imaging findings of appendiceal diverticula and its different forms of presentation and a brief review of the literature. Material and methods. A retrospective search was made in the database of the Department of Images of our institution over a period of 8 years, selecting those studies with the diagnosis of appendiceal diverticulosis or diverticulitis. Results. We obtained a sample of 6 cases, 4 were male and 2 female. The median age was 52 years (range: 42-81). Four cases were uncomplicated appendicular diverticulosis diagnosed in barium enema. The fifth case presented appendiceal diverticulitis complicated with perforation, whose diagnosis was made with computed tomography. The sixth case corresponded to acute appendicitis with appendiceal diverticulosis, whose diagnosis was established with abdominal ultrasound. Both cases of acute abdominal presentation had histological confirmation of the surgical specimen. Conclusion. Appendiceal diverticulosis and diverticulitis should be considered in the differential diagnosis of pain in the right iliac fossa. Knowledge of the imaging findings may allow preoperative diagnosis.
