Currently available high-resolution transducers allow a detailed ultrasound (US) assessment of skin tumors. US complements clinical examination, dermoscopy, and biopsy in the initial differential diagnosis, surgical planning, locoregional staging, and follow-up of patients with skin malignancies. It is important for dermatologists, skin surgeons, and US operators to be aware of the US imaging findings and to recognize the clinical scenarios where imaging is indicated in the management of skin cancer. The purpose of this review article is to address the most common indications for US in skin oncology and to provide a comprehensive guide to the gray-scale and color-Doppler findings in cutaneous malignant tumors.
目前可用的高分辨率换能器能够对皮肤肿瘤进行详细的超声（US）评估。在皮肤恶性肿瘤患者的初始鉴别诊断、手术规划、局部区域分期及随访中，超声可辅助临床检查、皮肤镜检查及活检。皮肤科医生、皮肤外科医生及超声操作人员了解超声成像结果并认识到在皮肤癌管理中需要进行成像检查的临床情况非常重要。这篇综述文章的目的是阐述超声在皮肤肿瘤学中最常见的应用指征，并提供一份关于皮肤恶性肿瘤灰阶及彩色多普勒表现的综合指南。
