What this Trial Is About
The objective of this study is to explore the role of ultrasonography (non-invasive imaging device) in the diagnosis of subcutaneous nodules (mass/bumb underneath the skin). Patients who presented with subcutaneous nodules and was indicated for diagnostic skin biopsies were recruited. Prior to skin biopsies (not part of the study's intervention), ultrasonography(intervention) was used to examine the characteristics of the nodules. The ultrasonographic findings are then compared to the pathological results to explore the role of ultrasonography in differentiating each disease or group of diseases that presented with skin nodules.
