Case in brief

A spiradenoma was identified in a patient presenting with a cutaneous lesion that resembled an epidermoid cyst. Ultrasound imaging revealed a well-defined, multilobulated, heterogeneous, hypoechoic mass in the dermis with posterior acoustic enhancement. Color Doppler imaging indicated increased vascularization. The diagnosis was confirmed histologically, leading to appropriate management.

Diagnostic / clinical pearl

Spiradenomas can mimic other skin lesions; ultrasound can aid in distinguishing them by revealing specific sonographic features such as multilobulation and increased vascularization.

Why it matters

Understanding the ultrasound characteristics of spiradenomas can reduce misdiagnoses and improve management strategies for cutaneous neoplasms.
