20 MHz high frequency ultrasound assessment of scleral and intraocular conjunctival squamous cell carcinoma.
OBJECTIVE
To assess in a prospective manner, high frequency ultrasound diagnosis of deep invasion by conjunctival squamous cell carcinoma.


METHODS
Prospective, non-randomised case series comparing 20 MHz high frequency ultrasonographic and clinicopathological data.


RESULTS
20 MHz high frequency ultrasound delineated the degree of deep involvement of this tumour into the sclera, globe, and orbit. The results of ultrasonography correlated with the clinicopathological results.


CONCLUSIONS
High frequency ultrasound is a useful diagnostic adjunctive test in patients with possible deep involvement by a conjunctival squamous cell carcinoma.
