[Dermatome excision of multiple basaliomas of the trunk skin]

Superficial basal cell carcinomas of the trunk may be removed by dermatome excision. The procedure following the usual excision of a split-skin graft with a thickness of 0,6 mm. Histological control of the tumor excision is possible when the split-skin graft, including the tumor, is rolled before sectioning. In this way the adequate tumor removal, both in depth and at the peripheral margin, can be judged.
