The diagnosis is made clinically in most cases.

Principles of high-frequency ultrasonography for investigation of skin pathology.

Ultrasonography is a valuable diagnostic tool widely used in medicine. During the last three decades, this non-invasive skin imaging method has been extended to dermatology. High-frequency ultrasonography with higher than 20MHz scanners is well-established for measuring tumour thickness and skin thickness when treating inflammatory skin diseases such as scleroderma or psoriasis.
