High-frequency ultrasound has been used to visualize depth and vascularization of cutaneous neoplasms, but little has been synthesized as a review for a robust level of evidence about the diagnostic accuracy of high-frequency ultrasound in dermatology. A narrative review of the PubMed database was performed to establish the correlation between ultrasound findings and histopathologic/dermoscopic findings for cutaneous neoplasms. Articles were divided into the following four categories: melanocytic, keratinocytic/epidermal, appendageal, and soft tissue/neural neoplasms. Review of the literature revealed that ultrasound findings and histopathology findings were strongly correlated regarding the depth of a cutaneous neoplasm. Morphological characteristics were correlated primarily in soft tissue/neural neoplasms. Overall, there is a paucity of literature on the correlation between high-frequency ultrasound and histopathology of cutaneous neoplasms. Further studies are needed to investigate this correlation in various dermatologic conditions.
高频超声已被用于可视化皮肤肿瘤的深度和血管化,但作为皮肤科高频超声诊断准确性的证据水平综述,相关研究很少。本文对 PubMed 数据库进行了叙述性综述,以建立超声表现与皮肤肿瘤的组织病理学/皮肤镜检查结果之间的相关性。文章分为以下四类:黑素细胞性、角朊细胞/表皮性、附属器性和软组织/神经源性肿瘤。文献回顾显示,超声表现与皮肤肿瘤的深度与组织病理学发现具有很强的相关性。形态学特征主要在软组织/神经源性肿瘤中相关。总体而言,关于高频超声与皮肤肿瘤的组织病理学之间相关性的文献很少。需要进一步的研究来调查各种皮肤状况下的这种相关性。
