Introduction: There is still a need to develop a simple algorithm to identify patients likely to need complex Mohs micrographic surgery (MMS) and optimize MMS schedule. The main objectives of this study are to identify factors associated with a complex MMS and develop a predictor model of the number of stages needed in surgery and the need for a complex closure.
Materials And Methods: A nationwide prospective cohort study (REGESMOHS, the Spanish Mohs surgery registry) was conducted including all patients with a histological diagnosis of basal cell carcinoma (BCC).

Randomized studies to assess the efficacy of Mohs micrographic surgery in basal cell and squamous cell carcinomas are limited by methodological and ethical issues and a lack of long follow-up periods. This study presents the "real-life" results of a nationwide 7-years cohort on basal cell carcinoma and squamous cell carcinoma treated with Mohs micrographic surgery. A prospective cohort was conducted in 22 Spanish centres (from July 2013 to February 2020) and a multivariate analysis, including characteristics of patients, tumours, surgeries and follow-up, was performed.

Objectives: To describe the risk of MMS complications and the risk factors for them.
Mohs micrographic surgery in dermatofibrosarcoma protuberans: Rate and risk factors for recurrence in a prospective cohort study from the Spanish Registry of Mohs Surgery (REGESMOHS) and review of the literature.

Characterization of patients, surgery procedures and the risk factors for dermatofibrosarcoma protuberans (DFSP) recurrences is poorly defined. In this study, we aimed to describe the demographics, tumor characteristics and interventions of DFSP treated with Mohs micrographic surgery (MSS) to determine the rate and risk factors for recurrence. Data were collected from REGESMOHS, a nationwide prospective cohort study of patients treated with MMS in Spain.

- Data on skin lesions related to SARS-CoV-2 is limited, prompting a study of patients at a Barcelona hospital during April-May 2020 to analyze clinical and histopathological characteristics.
- Out of 2761 patients, only 58 (2.1%) presented with skin lesions categorized into six patterns, including generalized maculo-papular and chilblain-like lesions, with a majority undergoing skin biopsies for analysis.
- Chilblain-like lesions were notably associated with younger patients and a less severe COVID-19 presentation, as they generally had fewer systemic symptoms and lower rates of hospitalization compared to other lesion types.
Background: The use of Mohs micrographic surgery (MMS) for rare cutaneous tumors is poorly defined. We aim to describe the demographics, tumor presentation and topography, surgery characteristics and complications of MMS for rare cutaneous tumors in a national registry.
Methods: Prospective cohort study of patients treated with MMS in Spain between July 2013 and June 2018.
