Melanoma is an aggressive tumour, resistant to treatment, derived from melanocytes, with an increasing incidence in the last years in the majority of countries. The most important prognostic factor in the initial stages (I/II) is the presence of metastases at the level of lymph nodes. Ultrasound (US) is a non-invasive method, used in the pre- and post-operative node evaluation due to its high availability, the reduced cost and easy reproducibility. The US accuracy is however dependent on operator expertise. The present article proposes a presentation of the US role in the evaluation of lymph nodes in melanoma patients.
黑色素瘤是一种侵袭性肿瘤，对治疗具有抗性，起源于黑素细胞，在大多数国家，其发病率在过去几年中呈上升趋势。在初始阶段（I/II期），最重要的预后因素是淋巴结转移的存在。超声（US）是一种非侵入性方法，因其高可用性、低成本和易于重复性，被用于术前和术后的淋巴结评估。然而，超声的准确性取决于操作者的专业技能。本文提出展示超声在黑色素瘤患者淋巴结评估中的作用。
