Pinch Grafts Versus Second Intention Wound Healing for Mohs Micrographic Surgery Defects Below the Knee: A Prospective Randomized Trial.

Background: The surgical management of leg wounds following skin cancer extirpation is challenging. Pinch grafting (PG) is a technique that has been rarely described in the reconstruction of acute surgical wounds.

Objective: The purpose of this study was to evaluate whether PG resulted in faster healing times for below the knee wounds following Mohs micrographic surgery (MMS) when compared with second intention healing (SIH).

Mohs for Melanoma: A Review of MART-1 Frozen Section Interpretation.

Background: Mohs surgery for melanoma has been performed for many decades, but advances in the use of immunohistochemistry with frozen sections during Mohs surgery have allowed for more accurate, reliable, and efficient margin assessment with improved local control of the disease.

Objective: To describe the use of MART-1 in treating melanoma with Mohs surgery and serve as a primer for the Mohs surgeon adding melanoma cases to their repertoire.

Materials And Methods: Review of the literature and discussion of experience with Mohs for melanoma.

Association of Tumor Characteristics With Insurance Type Among Patients Undergoing Mohs Micrographic Surgery for Nonmelanoma Skin Cancer.

Importance: Little is known about the association between insurance type and tumor or treatment characteristics among patients undergoing Mohs micrographic surgery (MMS) for nonmelanoma skin cancer (NMSC).

Objective: To investigate whether there are differences in tumor and treatment characteristics among patients undergoing MMS for NMSC by insurance type.

Design, Setting, And Participants: This retrospective cohort study included patients with NMSC who presented for surgery at an academic MMS practice between May 2017 and May 2019.

Psoriasiform dermatitis following intravenous immunoglobulin therapy: A case series.

Intravenous immunoglobulin (IVIg) is a frequently used treatment modality in the pediatric inpatient population for acute diseases such as Kawasaki disease and Stevens-Johnson syndrome. There are few reported cutaneous adverse events after IVIg in the pediatric population. Here, we present two patients with psoriasiform dermatitis appearing after IVIg treatment for two different disease processes, Kawasaki disease and mycoplasma-associated mucositis, suggesting an association with the treatment instead of the disease process.
