Scar
- Loss of normal papillary dermis and reticular dermis contrast
- Single homogenous hyperreflective texture corresponding to densely packed collagen bundles minimal fluid
- Fine vessels may be evident in healing scars
- Can occur with a hyporeflective area underneath scar indicating perivascular lymphocytic infiltrate (*)
- Similar to scar tissue healed biopsy sites have increased dermal collagen hyperreflectivity and a more homogenous texture
- Typical skin structures: hair follicles, glands and vessels are typically absent, however fine vessel structures may occur
- Biopsy scars typically appear as hyperreflective wedges in the dermis further indicated by the change in collagen texture
