Abstract

This chapter reviews the most common forms of skin cancer, including non-melanoma and melanoma skin cancer, and also reviews the sonographic appearance of Merkel cell carcinoma and dermatofibrosarcoma protuberans. The ultrasound characteristics of benign and malignant lymph nodes are analyzed in order to support the recognition of these entities.
