What is Moh's micrographic surgery? Answer This is a technique used to ensure complete tumour excision with tissue conservation. This involves removing successive horizontal layers of the skin cancer and any surrounding tissue that may be involved. Each layer is microscopically examined and the section that involves tumour is marked. Subsequent horizontal layers remove the areas of tumour involvement, sparing the normal skin tissue. The dermatologist in your hospital has a heavy workload. In order not to overburden him/her, which of the two patients above would you request Moh's micrographic surgery and why? Answer Patient 1. The basal cell carcinoma is located at the medial canthus and has the tendency to orbital invasion if the excision is incomplete. The other indication are morpheaform form of basal cell carcinoma and recurrence. More questions
