ABSTRACT
Aim: 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.

Keywords: ultrasound; conjunctival squamous cell carcinoma
