The excellent cure rates associated with Mohs micrographic surgery depend on accurate interpretation of complete and high-quality microscopic frozen sections. Reliable interpretation of microscopic slides is only possible if the…
The use of radiation therapy in the management of skin cancer is variable and often anecdotal. Applied as both primary and adjuvant therapy in patients with both nonmelanoma skin cancer…
An overview of currently available imaging modalities is presented. Indications for imaging in cutaneous nonmelanoma skin cancers, selection of the most appropriate and cost-effective study, limitations, and risks are discussed….
Solid-organ transplant recipients are at increased risk for the development of skin cancers. A promising strategy for managing these complex patients involves a multidisciplinary approach that incorporates clinicians from various…
Atypical fibroxanthoma, malignant fibrous histiocytoma, sebaceous carcinoma, and extramammary Paget disease are rare cutaneous tumors. Their recognition and diagnosis are critical in decreasing long-term morbidity and mortality. Surgical excision is…
Reconstruction of Mohs surgical defects is a challenging venture. A thorough understanding of skin physiology and anatomy (cosmetic subunits, relaxed skin tension lines, underlying neurovascular structures at risk, potential functional…
Dermatofibrosarcoma protuberans (DFSP) is a rare soft-tissue tumor that most commonly presents on the trunk and extremities of adults. It is characterized by low metastatic potential and a favorable prognosis,…
Microcystic adnexal carcinoma is a rare neoplasm with a propensity for slow growth and extensive local invasion. Pathology is characterized by multiple islands of basaloid epithelial cells, ductal structures, and…
Mohs micrographic surgery is a valuable option for the treatment of melanoma in situ, especially lesions of the lentigo maligna subtype that are clinically ill defined. Complete peripheral margin assessment…
This article reviews Mohs micrographic surgery for basal cell carcinoma. Its evolution to the present day technique, indications, and limitations are discussed, along with future expectations for the procedure. Mohs…
