Awareness of characteristic Ultrasound and CT findings of various skin and subcutaneous emergencies is important for timely diagnosis and management.

1. Characteristic imaging findings and management of emergent skin and subcutaneous diseases: a. Inflammatory and Infectious- cellulitis and abscesses of breast and other sites, Fournier’s gangrene, necrotizing fasciitis, decubitus ulcers, thrombophlebitis b. Traumatic injuries and vascular pathology- subcutaneous emphysema, contusion, laceration, hematoma, pseudoaneurysm, electrical and burn injuries, compound fracture c. Iatrogenic- infections, fistula and hernia d. Fistula- enterocutaneous, pharygocutaneous 2. Imaging of incidentally encountered and non-emergent skin and subcutaneous conditions a. Benign- sebaceous cyst, calcifications, injection site and liposuction associated granulomas, neurofibromas, endometrioma, anasarca b. Malignant- primary and metastatic lesions 3. Role of Dual Energy CT in skin and subcutaneous diseases in the emergency room 4. Conclusion
