    Summary

    High-resolution sonography effectively detects malignant melanomas and their spread. This imaging technique aids in earlier diagnosis and precise surgical planning for melanoma patients.

    Area of Science:

    • Medical imaging
    • Dermatology
    • Oncology

    Context:

    • Malignant melanoma diagnosis and staging are critical for patient outcomes.
    • Accurate assessment of tumor thickness and regional spread is essential for treatment planning.
    • Current diagnostic methods may have limitations in real-time, non-invasive evaluation.

    Purpose:

    • To evaluate the efficacy of high-resolution real-time sonography in visualizing malignant melanoma.
    • To assess the accuracy of sonography in measuring tumor thickness and detecting regional metastases and recurrences.
    • To determine the diagnostic performance (sensitivity and specificity) of sonography for melanoma follow-up.

    Summary:

    • High-resolution sonography can visualize malignant melanoma, with tumors >0.6 mm thickness detectable as nodules with sparse echoes.

  • Sonographic tumor thickness measurements correlate well with histometry (r=0.95).
  • Sonography accurately identifies regional melanoma metastases and recurrences, differentiating them from benign nodules, with 95% sensitivity and 99% specificity.

    • Impact:

    • Enables earlier diagnosis of melanoma metastases and recurrences, improving patient management.
    • Provides precise indications for secondary surgeries during melanoma follow-up.
    • May influence decisions regarding primary regional lymphonodectomy, optimizing surgical strategies.
