Ultrasound and high-frequency ultrasound assessment of melanoma and non-melanoma skin cancer in the pre-therapeutical setting is becoming increasingly popular in the field of dermatosurgery and dermatooncology, as it can provide clinicians with relevant, ”in vivo“ parameters regarding tumor lateral and depth extension as well as potential locoregional spread, cancelling the need of more extensive imaging methods and avoiding a delay in diagnosis. Furthermore, preoperative sonography and color Doppler can aid in orienting the clinical diagnosis, being able in numerous situations to differentiate between benign and malignant lesions, which require a different therapeutic approach. This preoperative knowledge is of paramount importance for planning an individualized treatment regimen. Using sonography at the time of diagnosis, important surgical complications, such as neurovascular damage, can be avoided by performing a preoperative neurovascular mapping. Furthermore, sonography can help reduce the number of surgical steps by identifying the lesions’ extent prior to surgery, but it can also spare unnecessary surgical interventions in cases of locally advanced lesions, which infiltrate the bone or already present with locoregional metastases, which usually require modern radiooncological therapies in accordance to European guidelines. With this review, we intend to summarize the current indications of sonography in the field of skin cancer surgery, which can help us improve the therapeutic attitude toward our patients and enhance patient counseling. In the era of modern systemic radiooncological therapies, sonography can help better select patients who qualify for surgical procedures or require systemic treatments due to tumoral extension.

“…Com a disseminação ampla do uso da Usaf, podem ser reduzidas as biópsias excisionais em casos com aparência benigna -diminuindo o estresse do paciente, o comprometimento funcional, os custos de materiais e o trabalho de especialistas. Ademais, trata-se de um método diagnóstico de maior disponibilidade quando comparado a tomografia computadorizada e ressonância magnética, mas igualmente preciso (7).…”

Este estudo apresenta caso de paciente feminina, 39 anos, fototipo II, com lesão suspeita de melanoma no braço esquerdo. A rápida evolução, formato, pigmentação e exulceração central levaram à solicitação da Ultrassonografia de Alta Frequência (Usaf) como exame complementar. A Usaf classificou a lesão em relação à profundidade e infiltração, auxiliando no planejamento cirúrgico. A exérese confirmou melanoma extenso superficial. A Usaf oferece informações seguras, indolores e não invasivas sobre a estrutura anatômica e vascular, permitindo avaliar a extensão da lesão em diferentes eixos. Sua relevância cresce na prática clínica dermatológica, contribuindo para o diagnóstico e tratamento assertivos.

“…[10,12] USG można zastosować także do kontroli po leczeniu -do oceny jego efektywności i obserwowania obecności ewentualnej wznowy. [18] W przypadku raka kolczystokomórkowego, rola ultrasonografii jest znacznie bardziej ograniczona. Wykonanie USG jest zalecane w przypadku guzów nawrotowych, guzów o średnicy lub głębokości powyżej 2cm, słabo zróżnicowanych histologicznie, rosnących wzdłuż przestrzeni okołonerwowych lub naciekających naczynia limfatyczne oraz w szczególnych lokalizacjach (uszy, usta, okolica płciowa i okolica odbytu).…”

Introduction: High-frequency ultrasonography (HF-USG) uses frequency above 20 MHz, which allows to visualize skin layers and measure their thickness. As it is simple, non-invasive and reliable technique, it has become a relevant tool in the field of dermatology along with other methods like for example dermoscopy. It can be used not only for the evaluation, diagnosis and management of various skin diseases, but also for analysis of the healthy skin structure Aim of the study: The aim of this review is to present information on the use of high-efficiency USG and its application in dermatology. Materials and methods: The literature available in the PubMed and Google Scholar data bases was reviewed, using the following keywords: "dermatologic ultrasound", "skin ultrasound, "HFUS dermatology". Conclusions: HFUS has given many opportunities in dermatology. Although ultrasound is not a new thing and it has been used in the field of dermatology for more than four decades, its significance has evolved with improvements in technology. We already have some pathognomonic sonographic features for skin lesions, but this amount will definitely increase due to the growing popularity of HFUS devices in clinical practice.
