Different sonographic presentations of dermatofibrosarcoma protuberans
ConclusionDFSP is a low grade sarcoma of fibroblastic origin, that usually arises in the dermis and infiltrates the subcutaneous tissue. The clinical presentations are variable. On ultrasound we found different patterns: well-defined hypoechogenic solid nodule, hypoechogenic infiltrate ill-defined border solid lesion, plaque ill-defined lesion, and pseudonodular inflammatory lesion. It is important to know and recognize this suspicious different ultrasound presentations in order to recommend a histological study. (Source: Journal of Ultrasound)

“Truffle sign”. A suspicious malignant pattern of lymphadenopathies in children observed on ultrasound. Preliminary study
ConclusionThe truffle sign is a new potential suspicious ultrasound sign, that can suggest malignant lymphadenopathy in children. This ultrasound pattern can have some probable usefulness to the radiologist in order to recommend further studies, including histological study, that need to be validated by a larger sample. It is important to recognize easily and early the lymphomatous compromise in a lymph node. (Source: Journal of Ultrasound)

Relevance of sonographic parameters for inflammatory bowel disease in children
ConclusionAmong several US parameters suggestive of IBD, the increased BWT, MH and altered echopattern are independent predictors of IBD. The ultrasonographic diagnosis of IBD could be more accurate if relied on combination of different sonographic parameters, than on the sole BWT evaluation. (Source: Journal of Ultrasound)

Flexor hallucis longus tendon morphology in dancers clinically diagnosed with tendinopathy
ConclusionBecause of the limited normative data for this pathology, these results can help improve diagnosis and therefore treatment for dancers to decrease the impact of this injury on their careers. (Source: Journal of Ultrasound)

Two-dimensional ultrasound results in underestimation of the ovarian follicle size compared to automated three-dimensional imaging in women undergoing IVF
ConclusionsThe utilisation of 3D US results in different measurements of the follicular dimensions, and volumes, when compared to conventional 2D US. The differences in thex- andy-dimensions may affect the outcome of an IVF cycle as they are used to define the day of triggering final oocyte maturation, which is associated with the yield of mature oocytes and the probability of live birth.

Ultrasound features of a pulley strain in a sport climber: a discussion based on a case report
We describe the case of a climber with symptoms of an A2-pulley injury, in whom ultrasound imaging revealed reversible features of fusiform thickening and hypoechogenicity, which resemble the strains that we find in similar structures like tendons and other ligaments.

Kiloh-Nevin syndrome: an unusual cause of forearm pain
We present a case of anterior interosseous nerve (AIN) entrapment syndrome/neuropathy otherwise known as Kiloh-Nevin syndrome in a 22-year-old weightlifter. Knowledge of this injury is paramount for practitioners to increase awareness among athletes and bodybuilders. (Source: Journal of Ultrasound)
