Superficial abscesses evaluated by ultrasonography may occasionally be isoechoic relative to the surrounding inflamed tissues and without mass effect, preventing diagnosis by morphologic criteria alone. We present a simple and effective method to detect such abscesses. In three cases, gentle repetitive pressure of the inflamed tissue revealed the liquefied nature of abscesses that otherwise would have been overlooked.
