| Sarcoidosis is a systemic granulomatous disease of unknown origin that mainly
involves lung and skin, but rarely involves subcutaneous tissue. While some studies
have reported on CT or MR imaging findings of subcutaneous sarcoidosis, there is
only one report on sonographic findings of subcutaneous sarcoidosis, recently published
in the US. Familiarity with ultrasonographic findings of subcutaneous sarcoidosis
might be helpful for the early diagnosis in patient with palpable nodules and image
follow-up for subcutaneous sarcoidosis. Here we report on the sonographic appearance
of subcutaneous sarcoidosis involving dermal and subcutaneous tissue over
axilla and sole, a case diagnosed as sarcoidosis and improved by steroid treatment,
along with a review of the relevant literature. |
