Using En Face Ink to Guide the Conservative Sectioning of a Mohs Margin

Background

While the epidermal rim of a Mohs layer routinely requires some manipulation, the deep margin seems to conform easily to a smooth surface for sectioning even when tissue textures and contours are prominent. How well these common features of the deep margin flatten during processing has not been well studied.



Objective

To determine how successfully tissue processing flattens the deep margin of Mohs specimens.



Methods

Using en face inking, this study compared the sectioning required to reach a completed epidermal margin with that of the completed deep margin in 100 routine first-stage Mohs specimens.
