Osteoclastic bone metastases - mostly associated with soft tissue infiltration - but also osteoblastic metastases present a typically sonographic appearance. These patterns are discussed in two cases. Nearly 50% of skeletal metastases are located in sonographically easily accessible regions. The use of this low-cost and simple method complementary to other diagnostic procedures is discussed.
