[Utility of skin ultrasound in the differential diagnosis of blue lesions, hydrocysts].
Many skin diseases may present as blue papules and nodules; the differential diagnosis includes such different entities such as metastatic melanoma, angioma, lipoma, epidermoid cyst, pilomatrixoma, blue nevus, glomus tumor, or hidrocystoma. Cutaneous ultrasound can be a complementary diagnostic technique of great value in these cases.
