Figure 6. Ultrasonographic features of the Mass Stage in GLM. (A-B) show hypoechoic masses (M) with irregular, ill-defined margins. The masses exhibit angular extensions and a false burr sign, characterized by relatively uniform, slender hypoechoic projections radiating from the lesion edges (triangle arrows); (C) demonstrates abundant blood flow within and surrounding the mass, accompanied by skin thickening and edema in the affected area (asterisk); (D) shows thickening of Cooper’s ligaments in some cases (thin arrow).
