Dorsal Wall Ultrasound
Technique:
Real-time ultrasound examination of the dorsal wall was performed using a
high-frequency linear transducer (7–12 MHz).
Systematic evaluation of the posterior thoraco-lumbar region was carried out
in longitudinal and transverse planes.
Skin, subcutaneous tissue, muscle layers, and underlying soft tissue structures
were assessed.
Clinical indication:
Suspected soft tissue lesion
Skin & Subcutaneous Tissue: Skin thickness appears normal. Subcutaneous tissue shows normal echotexture with no edema or collection.
The lesion demonstrates homogeneous fatty echotexture with linear echogenic striations. No adjacent muscle infiltration or structural distortion is seen.
Fascial Planes: Fascial layers are intact with no evidence of fluid tracking or disruption. Soft Tissue: No additional focal soft tissue mass, cystic lesion, or abscess is seen. Vascularity: No internal vascularity is noted within the lesion on Doppler evaluation.
Impression:
Well-defined intramuscular hyperechoic lesion within the rhomboid muscles,
showing characteristic sonographic features of a lipoma.
Features are suggestive of intramuscular (rhomboid major/minor muscle) lipoma.
Recommendation: Clinical correlation is advised. MRI may be considered for further evaluation if required. Follow-up is recommended if symptomatic or showing interval increase in size.
Kindly Note:
Limitations / Technical Factors:
Ultrasound evaluation is limited for deep-seated lesions and bony structures.
Clinical correlation and further imaging (MRI / CT) may be required
depending on clinical suspicion.
