Mohs micrographic surgery in immunosuppressed vs immunocompetent patients: Results of a prospective nationwide cohort study (REGESMOHS, Spanish registry of Mohs surgery).

Background: Immunosuppressed (IS) patients, particularly solid organ transplant recipients and those on immunosuppressive therapy, face a higher incidence and recurrence of nonmelanoma skin cancers (NMSC), including basal cell carcinoma (BCC) and squamous cell carcinoma (SCC). Mohs micrographic surgery (MMS) is the preferred treatment for high-risk NMSC due to its high cure rate and margin examination capabilities. However, IS patients may experience more complications, such as surgical site infections, and a greater risk of recurrence, making their outcomes a subject of interest.

Lymphovascular Invasion and High Mitotic Count Are Associated With Increased Risk of Recurrence in Pleomorphic Dermal Sarcoma.

Background And Objective: Atypical fibroxanthoma and pleomorphic dermal sarcoma (PDS) are rare mesenchymal tumors. Due to the low incidence of PDS and a historically confusing nomenclature, little is known about the true aggressiveness of this tumor. The aim of this study was to investigate clinical and histologic risk factors for recurrence in PDS.
