Abstract

Venous ultrasound is the primary, widely accepted diagnostic tool to assess deep vein thrombosis (DVT) in the lower extremities. However, other focal lesions in the lower extremities can be identified on ultrasound. The sonographic appearance of these abnormalities may overlap the thrombosis, which included vascular tumors, Baker's cyst, hematoma, cancer thrombosis, and peripheral nerve tumors. This essay derives from cases diagnosed in our centers and published literature, with images available for illustrations, which may help to improve the clinical management of these findings.
