Skin lesions are not uncommon in children, and most of them are benign. However, they can be a matter of concern. Although in most cases the diagnosis can be suspected based on clinical history and physical examination, in some cases clinical findings are nonspecific. High-frequency color Doppler US is a noninvasive technique that can play a relevant role in these cases and give important anatomical information for final clinical management. US can be helpful to avoid unnecessary surgery, plan a surgical excision and avoid advanced imaging studies such as MRI and CT, which have a lower resolution for the skin. Different lesions can look similar on US, and clinical correlation is always important. The purpose of this article is to show a variety of skin lesions that occur in children, emphasizing clinical-sonographic correlation, and to familiarize pediatric radiologists with the US technique and sonographic appearance of common skin lesions in children.
皮肤病变在儿童中并不罕见，其中大多数是良性的。然而，它们也可能成为一个值得关注的问题。尽管在大多数情况下，基于临床病史和体格检查就可以怀疑诊断，但在某些情况下，临床发现是非特异性的。高频彩色多普勒超声是一种非侵入性技术，在这些情况下可以发挥相关作用，并为最终的临床管理提供重要的解剖学信息。超声有助于避免不必要的手术，规划手术切除，并避免进行分辨率较低的皮肤磁共振成像（MRI）和计算机断层扫描（CT）等高级影像学研究。不同的病变在超声上可能看起来相似，因此临床相关性始终很重要。本文的目的是展示在儿童中发生的各种皮肤病变，强调临床-超声相关性，并使儿科放射科医生熟悉儿童常见皮肤病变的超声技术和超声表现。
