Case of Mohs surgery for an extensive forehead squamous cell carcinoma! Case of Mohs surgery for an extensive forehead squamous cell carcinoma! January 10, 2020 This patient underwent a Mohs micrographic surgery to treat her condition, which involves a sequential removal of thin skin layers with microscopic inspection to confirm that the margins have been cleared of malignant tissue. This technique has the highest cure rate for basal cell carcinomas and in smaller lesions it provides the least disruption to surrounding tissues, making it ideal for delicate areas such as the perioral region, nose, lips, ears and in this case, scalp. Flap surgery, shown in last two photos followed shortly after to cover the defect. Squamous cell carcinoma is a type of skin cancer that arise as a result of uncontrolled growth of the squamous cells in the epidermis layer of the skin and is suspected in patients with a rough, scaly nodule or non-healing, painless ulcer that develops in the setting of a scar or chronic inflammatory lesion. Risk factors are sun and radiation exposure, chronic wounds, burns, or scars. It is rapid growing and invasive, thus diagnosis is made by skin biopsy that includes the deep reticular dermis to assess the depth of the invasion. If left untreated, squamous cell carcinoma can cause extensive local destruction and lymphatic or distant metastases. |

Cancer is proof that there is no god. And if it turns out there is a god, well then, he can kiss my ass!! I have seen so many family members die slowly of cancer and it just tells me that there really isn't a god. I hope this lady gets well and stays that way for a the rest of her years. So how come they had to make a frankenstein patchwork when all they needed was a nice little round patch to sew on? They made her look like a side show freak, and that was just down right rude!! ![]() ![]()
