Ultrasound as a convenient tool in assessment of masses in obscure locations: A case series.

Erondu Okechukwu Felix, Benson

Abstract

Diagnostic imaging is an important tool in the work up of patients with suspected superficial masses. The likelihood of difficulties when such masses are located in obscure positions is a practical reality. It is well documented that Ultrasound plays a pivotal role in such circumstances. Improvements in digital Ultrasound technology, specialized high resolution multi frequency probes and use of Doppler techniques combine to make Ultrasound a modality of choice in the screening and assessment of superficial masses in obscure locations.
