High-frequency ultrasound associated with dermoscopy in pre-operative evaluation of basal cell carcinoma*
نویسندگان
چکیده
The recent development of high-frequency ultrasound, associated with the improved sensitivity in color Doppler, enabled the identification of various skin structures and layers. In basal cell carcinoma, the 22 MHz frequency ultrasound permits the delimitation of tumor margins, while color Doppler, determines its vascularization. We present two cases in which the association of both exams allowed an in vivo analysis of the tumor's morphology, size, thickness and vascularization, thus contributing to a better pre-operative evaluation.

متن کاملIncidence of incomplete excision in surgically treated basal cell carcinomas and identification of the related risk factors
Background: Surgery is the most frequent treatment modality for basal cell carcinoma but in spite of its high cure rate, the frequency of incomplete excision varies widely (0.7-50%) among dermatologic centers. Our case series was designed to determine the frequency of incompletely excised basal cell carcinoma and the related risk factors. Methods: A total of 1424 basal cell carcinoma (1040 pati...

متن کاملComparison of relative frequency of basal cell carcinoma in 1368-69 and 1378-79, in Razi Hospital, Tehran
Background and aim:Basal cell carcinoma (BCC) is the most common cancer in whites. The most important risk factor for developing BCC is solar ultraviolet (UV) irradiation. As the weather in most parts of Iran is mostly sunny, BCC is common. This study was performed to evaluate changes in the frequency of BCC in 1368-69 and 1378-79.Materials and Methods: This descriptive...
