Optical Coherence Tomography and Its Role in Mohs Micrographic Surgery: A Case Report
Optical coherence tomography (OCT) is an imaging technology with the potential to provide high-resolution images of the skin non-invasively. With this device, it is possible to identify a host of skin structures including tumors. In this case report, we demonstrate the use of an OCT device in delineating a lateral tumor margin of an ill-defined basal cell carcinoma prior to Mohs micrographic su...
متن کاملImaging of Mohs micrographic surgery sections using full-field optical coherence tomography: a pilot study.
BACKGROUND Full-field optical coherence tomography (FF-OCT) is a new noninvasive imaging technique that can see down to the cellular level without tissue preparation or contrast agents. OBJECTIVE To use FF-OCT to image Mohs micrographic surgery specimens and verify the ability of a dermatopathologist to identify or exclude malignancy. MATERIALS AND METHODS Two Mohs surgeons supplied 18 Mohs...
متن کاملMohs micrographic surgery.
Mohs micrographic surgery (MMS) is a specialized type of minimal marginal surgery that offers cure rates superior to other options in the treatment of contiguous skin cancers in selected settings. Developed by Dr. Frederic E. Mohs, the technique originally required in situ tissue fixation before excision. Most Mohs micrographic surgeons now use the fresh tissue technique exclusively. Horizontal...
متن کاملDeep venous thrombosis following Mohs micrographic surgery: case report.
Deep venous thrombosis (DVT) of the lower extremity is a common adverse outcome following large surgical procedures on the lower extremities, such as orthopedic surgery. It is a much rarer occurrence following Mohs micrographic surgery especially when patients have not immobilized the extremity. Reports of postoperative thrombotic or thromboembolic disease in the dermatologic literature are spa...
متن کاملOptical Coherence Tomography Used as a Modality to Delineate Basal Cell Carcinoma prior to Mohs Micrographic Surgery
Optical coherence tomography (OCT) has potential as a modality for in vivo imaging of non-melanoma skin cancer (NMSC). By allowing identification of sub-surface margins of NMSC lesions, the use of OCT could improve the rate of complete excision and reduce the average number of stages during Mohs micrographic surgery (MMS). The objective of this study was to use OCT to delineate the apparent sub...
