Labial abscess

LEFT LABIAL ABSCESS

Case – 01 (Translabial Scan)

Translabial Sonography

SUMMARY

A left labial abscess is a localized collection of infected fluid within the labial soft tissues. Translabial ultrasound may help characterize the collection, document its dimensions and extent, and assess surrounding soft-tissue changes. The relationship to the Bartholin gland should be evaluated when the location and visualization permit.

CLINICAL PRESENTATION

Clinical indication: left labial swelling and/or pain. Correlate with the patient's symptoms, physical examination, and relevant clinical history.

ULTRASOUND FINDINGS

• Left Labial Soft Tissues: A focal collection measuring 32 × 12 mm is identified in the left labial soft tissues, in keeping with the supplied clinical indication of a labial abscess. Internal echoes, margins, and the extent of the collection should be described according to the actual scan.
  
• Surrounding Soft Tissues: Assess for surrounding edema, inflammatory change, and any extension into adjacent perineal or vulvovaginal soft tissues.
• Right Labial Soft Tissues: Assess the visualized right labial soft tissues for any focal lesion, collection, or inflammatory change.
• Vulvovaginal Region and Vaginal Wall: Document the appearance of the visualized vulvar, perivaginal soft tissues, and vaginal wall, including any associated collection or abnormal thickening.
• Urethral Region: Assess the periurethral region for any focal cystic lesion or collection, if adequately visualized.
• Bartholin Gland Region: Assess the relationship of the left labial collection to the Bartholin gland to determine whether a Bartholin gland origin is present.
• Color Doppler: If Doppler assessment is performed, document peripheral and internal vascularity of the collection and adjacent soft tissues.
• Pelvic Floor / Perineal Musculature: Assess the visualized pelvic floor and perineal musculature for involvement, focal defect, or associated collection.
• Additional Findings: Document any additional abnormality or extension identified in the visualized translabial soft tissues.

ULTRASOUND IMPRESSION

Left labial collection measuring 32 × 12 mm, suggestive of a labial abscess in the appropriate clinical setting. The relationship to the Bartholin gland and the extent of surrounding inflammatory change should be reported only if confirmed on the examination.

DIFFERENTIAL CONSIDERATIONS

• Labial soft-tissue abscess.
• Bartholin gland abscess, if the collection is centered on the Bartholin gland region.
• Other infected or inflamed vulvar/perineal cystic lesions, depending on the precise location and sonographic appearance.

CLINICAL CORRELATION

Correlate with local pain, swelling, erythema, tenderness, fever, and physical examination findings. Gynecological assessment is recommended to guide management. Urgent clinical review is appropriate if there is fever, rapidly progressive swelling, severe pain, or systemic illness.

KEY POINT

Educational note: The provided measurement is 32 × 12 mm. Confirm and document the collection's three-dimensional measurements when obtainable, internal echoes, margins, surrounding edema, Doppler characteristics, and relationship to the Bartholin gland during the actual examination. This is an educational template; edit it to include only findings verified on the scan before clinical use.

Recommendation

Clinical correlation with menstrual history and pelvic symptoms is recommended. Gynecological evaluation may be considered if symptoms persist or progress. Follow-up ultrasound may be performed according to clinical indication.

Key Learning Points

• Bulky uterus is a descriptive sonographic finding and should be interpreted together with uterine contour and myometrial appearance.
• Uterine size should preferably be documented using three orthogonal measurements and uterine volume may be calculated.
• Assessment should include the myometrium, endometrium, cervix, and adnexa .
• Diffuse myometrial heterogeneity may be seen in various benign uterine conditions.
• A bulky uterus without a focal mass should not automatically be labeled as fibroid.
• Clinical correlation with menstrual symptoms and pelvic examination is important.

Clinical History

A 58-year-old male presented with increased urinary frequency, nocturia, and mild difficulty in initiating urination for the past several months. The patient reported a weak urinary stream with occasional sensation of incomplete bladder emptying. No history of hematuria or acute urinary retention was reported.

Ultrasound Findings

Ultrasound examination demonstrates mild enlargement of the prostate gland with maintained overall contour and relatively homogeneous echotexture. The transitional zone appears mildly prominent, producing mild enlargement of the central gland. The urinary bladder demonstrates mild trabecular prominence without definite intraluminal mass or calculus. Pre-void urinary bladder volume is within the expected range. Post-void assessment demonstrates a small residual urine volume. No definite focal suspicious prostatic lesion or significant pelvic free fluid is identified on the present ultrasound examination.

Ultrasound of the prostate. Sonographic image demonstrates mild prostatomegaly with mild prominence of the transitional/central gland and relatively preserved prostatic contour, favoring mild benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH).

Go To Table

Recommendation

Clinical correlation with lower urinary tract symptoms is advised. Correlation with serum PSA and digital rectal examination may be performed according to clinical indication. Urological evaluation may be considered if symptoms persist or progress.

Key Learning Points

• BPH commonly affects the transitional zone of the prostate.
• Ultrasound may demonstrate enlargement of the central/transitional gland with variable heterogeneity.
• Assessment of the urinary bladder and post-void residual urine is important in patients with lower urinary tract symptoms.
• Prostate volume should preferably be calculated using three orthogonal measurements.
• Clinical correlation is important because prostate size does not always directly correlate with symptom severity.

Go To Table

Recommendation

Clinical and urological correlation is recommended. Correlation with urinary symptoms, PSA level, and other relevant clinical parameters may be considered. Urological assessment is advised in patients with significant obstructive symptoms or increasing residual urine volume.

Key Learning Points

• Median-lobe enlargement may project into the bladder lumen.
• Intravesical prostatic protrusion can be assessed sonographically when clinically relevant.
• Bladder wall trabeculation may develop in association with chronic bladder outlet obstruction.
• Post-void residual urine provides useful information regarding bladder emptying.
• BPH should be interpreted together with clinical symptoms rather than prostate size alone.

CASE–3
Severe Benign prostatic hyperplasia [BPH-Grade-3] with Significant Post-Void Residual Urine

---

Clinical History

A 72-year-old male presented with long-standing urinary frequency, nocturia, weak urinary stream, hesitancy, and marked sensation of incomplete bladder emptying. The patient reported progressively worsening urinary symptoms.

Ultrasound Findings

Ultrasound demonstrates marked prostatomegaly with prominent transitional-zone enlargement and heterogeneous central-gland echotexture. The prostate produces elevation of the bladder base with associated intravesical prostatic protrusion. The urinary bladder is significantly distended with diffuse wall trabeculation. Following voiding, a substantial amount of urine remains within the bladder, consistent with a significant post-void residual volume. No definite intravesical calculus or focal bladder mass is identified on the present examination.

Report Line

Marked prostatomegaly with prominent transitional-zone enlargement and intravesical prostatic protrusion, compatible with benign prostatic hyperplasia. Prostatic volume 30.41 ml Diffuse urinary bladder wall trabeculation with significant post-void residual urine, suggesting impaired bladder emptying.

Impression

Marked benign prostatic hyperplasia with intravesical prostatic protrusion and significant post-void residual urine.

Go To Table

Recommendation

Urological evaluation is recommended, particularly in view of the significant post-void residual urine and symptoms of bladder outlet obstruction. Clinical correlation with renal function, PSA, and other relevant investigations may be considered according to clinical indication. If there is acute inability to void, severe suprapubic pain, fever, or other acute symptoms, urgent clinical assessment is appropriate.

Key Learning Points

• Significant post-void residual urine may indicate impaired bladder emptying.
• Chronic bladder outlet obstruction may be associated with bladder wall trabeculation.
• Intravesical prostatic protrusion can be an important sonographic finding in patients with obstructive lower urinary tract symptoms.
• Ultrasound assessment should include the prostate, urinary bladder, pre-void volume, and post-void residual volume when clinically indicated.
• Renal tract assessment may also be considered in patients with significant or long-standing bladder outlet obstruction.
• Persistent or severe lower urinary tract symptoms warrant appropriate clinical/urological evaluation.

CASE–1
Multiple Right Axillary Lymphadenitis

---

Clinical History

A 28-year-old lactating female presented with pain, tenderness, and localized swelling in the right axillary region for the past 3 days. She also reported discomfort in the adjacent right breast with low-grade fever. There was no history of nipple retraction, bloody nipple discharge, previous breast surgery, or known breast malignancy.

Ultrasound Findings

Ultrasound examination of the right axilla demonstrates multiple enlarged lymph nodes of variable size, predominantly oval in morphology, with relatively preserved echogenic fatty hila. The lymph nodes demonstrate mild to moderate cortical thickening with maintained hilar architecture. On Color Doppler imaging, increased hilar vascularity is noted. No definite cystic necrosis, liquefaction, calcification, or matting of the lymph nodes is identified. The surrounding axillary soft tissues show mild inflammatory changes. The visualized right breast parenchyma may demonstrate mild inflammatory changes in the appropriate clinical setting. No definite focal suspicious solid mass or drainable fluid collection is identified within the visualized breast or axillary region.

Go To Table

Recommendation

Clinical correlation is advised, particularly for an underlying inflammatory or infectious process involving the right breast or adjacent soft tissues. Appropriate medical management and clinical follow-up should be considered according to the patient's symptoms. If the lymph nodes persist, progressively enlarge, develop abnormal morphology, or fail to regress after resolution of the underlying inflammatory process, repeat ultrasound examination may be performed. Further breast and axillary evaluation should be considered for persistent or atypical lymphadenopathy.

Key Learning Points

• Reactive axillary lymphadenitis is commonly associated with inflammatory or infectious conditions of the breast and adjacent tissues.
• Ultrasound typically demonstrates oval lymph nodes with preserved echogenic fatty hila and mild cortical thickening.
• Color Doppler may demonstrate predominantly hilar vascularity in reactive lymph nodes.
• Features such as loss of the fatty hilum, marked eccentric cortical thickening, irregular contour, abnormal peripheral vascularity, necrosis, or calcification should raise concern for an alternative etiology and warrant further evaluation.
• Multiple enlarged lymph nodes can occur as a reactive response to breast inflammation or infection.
• Ultrasound is useful for assessing the morphology, cortical thickness, internal architecture, and vascular pattern of axillary lymph nodes.
• Persistent, progressive, or morphologically suspicious axillary lymphadenopathy requires appropriate clinical and breast-imaging follow-up.

Clinical History

A 30-year-old female presented with localized pain, tenderness, and swelling in the left axillary region for the past 4 days. She also reported mild discomfort in the adjacent left breast with low-grade fever. There was no history of nipple retraction, bloody nipple discharge, previous breast surgery, or known breast malignancy.

Ultrasound Findings

Ultrasound examination of the left axilla demonstrates a single mildly enlarged oval lymph node with a relatively preserved echogenic fatty hilum. Mild cortical thickening is noted with maintained nodal architecture. Color Doppler examination demonstrates predominantly hilar vascularity. No definite cystic necrosis, liquefaction, calcification, matting, or surrounding collection is identified. The visualized left breast parenchyma does not demonstrate a definite focal suspicious solid mass or drainable fluid collection. The sonographic appearance of the axillary lymph node favors a reactive/inflammatory lymphadenitis in the appropriate clinical setting.

Go To Table

Recommendation

Clinical correlation is advised. Appropriate medical management and follow-up should be considered according to clinical findings. If symptoms persist or worsen despite treatment, repeat ultrasound examination may be performed to assess for development of a breast abscess or other focal complication. Persistent or atypical imaging findings should undergo further breast evaluation as clinically indicated.

Key Learning Points

• Mastitis is an inflammatory condition of the breast and is commonly encountered during lactation.
• Ultrasound may demonstrate heterogeneous hypoechoic parenchymal changes, edema, skin thickening, and increased vascularity.
• Color Doppler commonly demonstrates increased vascularity within the inflamed breast tissue.
• A breast abscess should be suspected when a focal complex or fluid-containing collection develops within the inflamed tissue.
• Reactive axillary lymphadenopathy may accompany breast inflammation.
• Ultrasound is useful for distinguishing uncomplicated mastitis from a focal drainable collection.
• Persistent, recurrent, or atypical inflammatory changes require appropriate clinical and breast-imaging follow-up to exclude an underlying lesion.
