Case Discussion
Young children may present with tiny "mobile" hard subcutaneous lumps. Clinical teams may ask for an ultrasound to confirm what the lump is.
A small, hypoechoic, ovoid subcutaneous lump with an echogenic fatty hilum is often seen and represents a tiny lymph node. In young children with a paucity of subcutaneous fat, these can feel strange and trigger referral for imaging.
Whenever there is a lump, ultrasound is always the first imaging modality.
