High-resolution real-time sonography enables visualisation of the morphology of the cutis and of cutaneous tumours. Evaluation of 26 malignant melanomas showed that there is a high degree of correlation between the sonographically measured values of maximal tumour thickness with those determined postoperatively by histometry. As malignant melanomas have very few internal echos, they can be easily differentiated from benign tumours. High-resolution sonography is thus the only diagnostic imaging method which helps to evaluate preoperatively malignant melanomas.

D008545 Melanoma A malignant neoplasm derived from cells that are capable of forming melanin, which may occur in the skin of any part of the body, in the eye, or, rarely, in the mucous membranes of the genitalia, anus, oral cavity, or other sites. It occurs mostly in adults and may originate de novo or from a pigmented nevus or malignant lentigo. Melanomas frequently metastasize widely, and the regional lymph nodes, liver, lungs, and brain are likely to be involved. The incidence of malignant skin melanomas is rising rapidly in all parts of the world.
