OPERATIVE REPORT
Preoperative Diagnosis: Basal Cell Carcinoma
Postoperative Diagnosis: Basal Cell Carcinoma
Location: Mid Parietal Scalp
Procedure: Prior to each surgical stage, the surgical site was tested for
anesthesia and re-anesthetized as needed, after which it was prepped
and draped in a sterile fashion.
The clinically-apparent tumor was carefully defined and de-bulked prior
to the first stage, determining the extent of the surgical excision. With
each stage, a thin layer of tumor-laden tissue was excised with a narrow
margin of normal appearing skin, using the Mohs fresh tissue technique.
A map was prepared to correspond to the area of skin from which it was
excised. The tissue was prepared for the cryostat and sectioned. Each
section was coded, cut and stained for microscopic examination. The
entire base and margins of the excised piece of tissue were examined
by the surgeon. Areas noted to be positive on the previous stage (if
applicable) were removed with the Mohs technique and processed for
analysis. No tumor was identified after the final stage of microscopically
controlled surgery. The patient tolerated the procedure well without
any complication. After discussion with the patient regarding the various
options, the best closure option for each defect was selected for
optimal functional and cosmetic results.
Preoperative Size: 1.5 x 2.9 cm
Postoperative Size: 2.7 x 2.9 cm
Closure: Simple Linear Closure, 3.5cm, scalp
Total # of Mohs Stages: 2
