Ultrasound reports documented the ultrasonographic findings of nonvascular complications of hyaluronic acid filler injections. Fifty-two complications were documented in a cohort of 50 patients (women, 88%). The infraorbital region was the most common site affected (23%), followed by the nasolabial region (22%). The Tyndall effect was the most common complication (25% of all), followed by changes in rheology (21%) and pseudosarcoidal (foreign body granuloma) reaction (15%). The Tyndall effect stood out for its distinctive ultrasonographic characteristics. We discuss the ultrasonographic findings and pathogenesis of other complications, including filler migration, early hypersensitivity, aseptic abscess, overcorrection, and filler material interaction. The clinical presentation of hyaluronic acid filler complications can be confusing, delaying timely diagnosis and treatment. High-resolution ultrasound with Doppler analysis is a valuable tool for avoiding unnecessary treatments and ensuring timely diagnosis and treatment.</span></div></div>","PeriodicalId":10358,"journal":{"name":"Clinics in dermatology","volume":"42 5","pages":"Pages 538-546"},"PeriodicalIF":2.3,"publicationDate":"2024-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141064908","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

NMSC is an area with great potential for novel application of diagnostic tools including artificial intelligence (AI). In this scoping review, we aimed to describe the applications of AI in the diagnosis and treatment of NMSC. Twenty-nine publications described AI applications to dermatopathology including lesion classification and margin assessment. Twenty-five publications discussed AI use in clinical image analysis, showing that algorithms are not superior to dermatologists and may rely on unbalanced, nonrepresentative, and nontransparent training data sets. Sixteen publications described the use of AI in cutaneous surgery for NMSC including use in margin assessment during excisions and Mohs surgery, as well as predicting procedural complexity. Eleven publications discussed spectroscopy, confocal microscopy, thermography, and the AI algorithms that analyze and interpret their data. Ten publications pertained to AI applications for the discovery and use of NMSC biomarkers. Eight publications discussed the use of smartphones and AI, specifically how they enable clinicians and patients to have increased access to instant dermatologic assessments but with varying accuracies. Five publications discussed large language models and NMSC, including how they may facilitate or hinder patient education and medical decision-making. Three publications pertaining to the skin of color and AI for NMSC discussed concerns regarding limited diverse data sets for the training of convolutional neural networks. AI demonstrates tremendous potential to improve diagnosis, patient and clinician education, and management of NMSC. Despite excitement regarding AI, data sets are often not transparently reported, may include low-quality images, and may not include diverse skin types, limiting generalizability. AI may serve as a tool to increase access to dermatology services for patients in rural areas and save health care dollars.
