Imaging in lingual abscess: a case report

2024 , Oscar Campos , Ricardo Aris , Francisca Santorcuato , WHITTLE PINTO, CAROLINA , Liberto Figueroa , Pedro Pedregal

Abstract Background Lingual abscess corresponds to an infection that manifests itself as a painful swelling in the tongue with purulent material inside. This is a rare entity and the information available in the literature is limited and based on clinical case reports. Therefore, the diagnosis, etiology, clinical manifestations, and treatment are not fully defined. Case presentation The aim of this work was to describe the imaging of a case of lingual abscess, focusing on imaging evaluation using ultrasound and computed tomography (CT), and comparing the diagnostic utility of both modalities in smaller lingual abscesses. This case was treated with antibiotics and adequate drainage was performed, with good evolution. Conclusions Tongue abscess is a rare pathology due to the various mechanisms that the tongue has to avoid infections; however, it is a diagnosis that we must consider. CT may be sufficient to diagnose it on imaging, but in smaller lesions, ultrasound with a high-frequency transducer provides more information.

Ulcerated Keloid Secondary to a Coexisting Complicated Epidermal Inclusion Cyst: A Sonographic Diagnosis

2020 , Jaime Pérez-Wilson , WHITTLE, CAROLINA , Viviana García , Frances Norris , CASTRO MENDEZ, ALEX , Mario Hitschfeld

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.

Subungual Exostosis: High-Resolution Ultrasound Findings

2019 , WHITTLE, CAROLINA , Javiera Aguirre , Veronica Catalán , Fabiola Vargas , FAJRE WIPE, XIMENA ELIZABETH

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.

Finger chondroid syringoma as a hypoechoic subcutaneous nodule in ultrasound

2013-09-01 , WHITTLE PINTO, CAROLINA , MacKinnon, John , Cabrera, Roberto , SILVA FUENTE ALBA, CLAUDIO SERGIO , Pires, Yumay , González, Robinson

Chondroid syringoma (CS) is an uncommon, benign epithelial skin mixed tumor. It is often located in the head and neck and is unusual in other parts of the body. It may be seen as a skin or soft tissue tumor. We present findings on high-resolution ultrasound and histology in a case of benign CS located on the right index finger. High-resolution ultrasound showed a solid hypoechoic, well-defined subcutaneous mass, adjacent to the tendon. Complete surgical excision was performed, and histopathology demonstrated an apocrine mixed tumor (CS). Although CS histological findings are well described, radiological features have been reported only in few cases and mainly in magnetic resonance. Chondroid syringoma should be suspected by high-resolution ultrasound as a differential diagnosis for a solid slow-growing soft tissue nodule in a finger, especially if the lesion has no contact with the underlying tendon. © 2013 by Lippincott Williams & Wilkins.
