Overview
Other Imaging Findings
Imaging studies in EMPD should be directed by the anatomic location of the involved skin and the sex of the patient. Imaging studies should be used to augment physical and endoscopic examination in assessing possible undetected internal malignancy.[2]
Bone scan
- Whole Bone Scan: The goal of a whole body bone scan is to show if a cancer has metastasized to your bones.
Ultrasound scan
Evaluation of lymph nodes by ultrasound scan
PET scan
Positron emission tomography (PET) may be helpful in assessing regional lymph nodes and locating distal disease, especially in patients with dermal invasion noted on initial skin biopsy specimens.
