Figure 3. Ultrasound images of a lobulated and circumscribed nerve sheath myxoma of the left ankle with and without doppler interrogation prior to resection. (A) Longitudinal image shows a lobulated, circumscribed, hypoechoic mass (arrow) associated with the dermis and extending into the subcutaneous fat. There are internal septae (arrowhead) and posterior acoustic enhancement (asterisk). (B) Longitudinal color Doppler image demonstrates no internal vascular flow.
