Fig. 6From: Ultrasound imaging of the axillaHidradenitis suppurativa of the axilla. Massive hypoechoic thickening (yellow arrowheads) of the dermis (A) with pathological hypervascularization on high-sensitivity color Doppler (B) can be promptly observed at the level of the axillary skin. Very high-frequency ultrasound probes (C, D) better define additional sonographic signs of hidradenitis suppurativa as the superficial, saclike fluid collections (white asterisks) and the ballooning of hair follicles (white dotted line).
