Abstract
|
|
|
|
Palpable lesions of the scalp and face are common in clinical practice. They are usually small and benign, and the lesions tend to be treated simply according to the clinical symptoms. However, radiologic evaluation is often performed to determine the exact type and location of a lesion to ensure appropriate management. Ultrasonography is useful as a primary and definitive modality for evaluating small superficial lesions. CT and MRI are better for characterizing soft tissue features and provide superior soft tissue resolution. This article discusses various lesions and their imaging findings of the scalp and face that may present as superficially palpable masses.
