High‐Frequency Ultrasound and Shear Wave Elastography of Dermatofibrosarcoma Protuberans: A Novel Approach for Early Detection
DFSP exhibits distinctive sonographic features including mixed echo patterns, peripheral hyperechoic regions, and finger-like projections. The newly identified "stiffer superficial cap" sign on SWE, combined with HFUS features, may improve the clinical suspicion of DFSP, potentially expediting biopsy decisions and definitive diagnosis.
