title: [Ultrasound diagnosis of skin tumors].
abstract: Twenty-one patients with skin tumors were examined before and after operation using special high-frequency ultrasound B-scanners. The different histological types were related to sonographic phenotypes, and the extent of tumors in the ultrasound image was comparable with that seen on the histometric image. The extent and invasion depth of skin tumors were assessed correctly by ultrasound.
