Course: Fast-Growing Frontal Subcutaneous Nodule in a Young Woman

CME Credits: 1.00

Released: 2023-11-29

A woman in her 20s presented with a firm, mobile, painful, and fast-growing subcutaneous nodule in the glabella (). Ultrasonography performed in B mode with a high-frequency (6-18 MHz) linear transducer revealed a hypoechoic lesion with well-defined borders in the hypodermis. After 2 months, the nodule had increased and seemed to be adhered to deep layers. A computed tomography scan was performed, which showed a 0.8?×-1.5?×-1.5-cm ovoid subcutaneous lesion with well-defined borders located in the glabella. The lesion was not affecting the epidermis and reached the muscular layer in depth without eroding bone structures. Given these findings, the lesion was excised.
