Mohs micrographic surgery shows promise for superficial leiomyosarcoma, a rare skin cancer. This technique demonstrated low recurrence and metastasis rates in a systematic review, suggesting it may be a superior alternative to wide local excision.
Area of Science:
- Dermatology
- Surgical Oncology
- Oncology
Background:
- Superficial leiomyosarcoma is a rare soft tissue malignancy.
- Wide local excision is the current standard treatment.
- Mohs micrographic surgery offers precise margin control.
Conclusions:
- Mohs micrographic surgery appears effective for superficial leiomyosarcoma.
- Further research needed, especially for subcutaneous variants.
