Gray scale ultrasonography in the evaluation of metastatic melanoma

Abstract
One hundred and eight ultrasonographic examinations of the abdomen and pelvis in 89 patients with malignant melanoma were reviewed. Forty of these patients were found to have metastatic disease demonstrated by this new diagnostic modality. The varied ultrasonographic manifestations of melanoma are illustrated. Its use in staging and evaluating therapy is stressed. Cancer 42:2529–2533, 1978.
