Mohs Micrographic Surgery: Indications for Non-head and Neck Tumors

1 Adelson School of Medicine, Ariel University, Ariel, Israel 2 Assuta Medical Center, Tel Aviv, Israel 3 Herzliya Medical Center, Herzliya, Israel

Summary

Mohs micrographic Surgery (MMS) is a specialized surgical technique for removal of skin tumors. It achieves the highest cure rates of any available treatment. At the same time, it spares healthy tissue and thus provides superior cosmetic and functional results. The technique is indicated mainly for tumors on the head and neck. Other bodily areas including the trunk and extremities have been found to be indications for MMS as well. These indications have been defined by a collaborative work of major dermatology and dermatologic surgery organizations. Knowledge of these indications, in particular on areas other than the head and neck, is prudent for appropriately managing these tumors.
