N2 - Subcutaneous sarcoidosis occurs infrequently among cases of cutaneous sarcoidosis. To our knowledge, few studies have described the sonographic characteristics of subcutaneous sarcoidosis. Here we report the sonographic characteristics of 3 cases of this condition. Our results revealed 4 features: (1) an irregular hypoechoic appearance, (2) heterogeneous echogenicity, (3) perilesional hyperechoic changes, and (4) abnormal Doppler signals. Sonography is a rapid, simple, and noninvasive procedure that is useful for initial evaluation of granulomatous lesions such as subcutaneous sarcoidosis.
