Overview

abstract

  • BACKGROUND: Processing multiple tissue sections in large Mohs cases is time consuming and labor intensive. OBJECTIVE: To present innovative laboratory techniques to facilitate processing of large Mohs cases. METHODS: A method for processing a large dermatofibrosarcoma protuberans Mohs case is outlined. RESULTS: Modifications in tissue processing and equipment employed in a large Mohs case are presented. CONCLUSION: Innovative modifications to the standard Mohs laboratory technique can facilitate processing of large Mohs cases, resulting in high-quality, rapid frozen sections while optimizing efficiency.
