High-frequency ultrasonography represents a promising tool for pediatric dermatologists. It is a non-invasive diagnostic technique that is particularly appealing when working with children. It can be easily performed at the patient's bedside, avoiding diagnostic delays, sedation, or multiple visits. It represents a useful adjunct to clinical examination and can enhance our understanding of cutaneous diseases. Patient cooperation and limited training and experience are the main challenges for cutaneous ultrasonography in pediatric dermatology. This review describes cutaneous ultrasonography and the nuances of its use in the pediatric setting, followed by the ultrasonographic findings of cutaneous lumps, bumps, and inflammatory dermatoses commonly encountered in pediatric patients.
高频超声检查对儿科皮肤科医生来说是一种很有前景的工具。它是一种非侵入性诊断技术，在诊治儿童患者时特别有吸引力。它可以在患者床边轻松进行，避免诊断延误、镇静或多次就诊。它是临床检查的有用辅助手段，可以增进我们对皮肤疾病的理解。患者的配合以及有限的培训和经验是儿科皮肤科皮肤超声检查的主要挑战。本文综述了皮肤超声检查及其在儿科应用中的细微差别，随后介绍了儿科患者常见的皮肤肿块、隆起和炎性皮肤病的超声检查结果。
