The present global outbreak of monkeypox has reached more than 79,000 cases by November 2022. While clinical features have been extensively studied, ultrasound findings in monkeypox skin lesions have not been described to date. In our work, we performed a complete sonographic study with Doppler and elastography of 3 patients with polymerase chain reaction-proven monkeypox. The most characteristic findings in skin lesions were hyperechoic epidermal thickening, dermo-hypodermal thickening with focal hypoechogenicity and increased intralesional vascularization. Regarding lymphadenopathies, we found vascularization of hilar distribution and an increased cortical stiffness and shoft hiliar area.
截至 2022 年 11 月，目前全球猴痘爆发已超过 79000 例。虽然已经广泛研究了临床特征，但猴痘皮肤损伤的超声表现至今尚未描述。在我们的工作中，我们对 3 例聚合酶链反应证实的猴痘患者进行了全面的超声检查，包括多普勒和弹性成像。皮损最具特征性的发现是表皮增厚呈高回声，真皮-皮下组织增厚伴局灶性低回声和病灶内血管增多。关于淋巴结病，我们发现了肺门分布的血管化以及皮质僵硬增加和肺门面积减小。
