Article Title: Innovative laboratory techniques to facilitate processing of large Mohs cases
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. © 2005 by the American Society for Dermatologic Surgery, Inc.
