Ultrasound as a Diagnostic and Interventional Aid at Point-of-Care in Dermatology Clinic: A Case Report.

We report a patient who presented with a tender subcutaneous mass that was diagnosed and treated using point-of-care ultrasound-guidance at the dermatology clinic. Ultrasound revealed features consistent with a ganglion cyst, which was subsequently injected with triamcinolone acetonide under ultrasound-guidance with resolution of symptoms upon follow-up one month later. Our study demonstrates the utility of ultrasound as an effective, time-efficient diagnostic and interventional aid that can modify dermatology practice.
