Hyperbaric oxygen and Mohs micrographic surgery in the treatment of osteoradionecrosis and recurrent cutaneous carcinoma.
Recurrent basal cell carcinoma (BCC) overlying bony structures which has been treated with radiation may be complicated by tumor invasion of bone and osteoradionecrosis. The authors present a case of recurrent BCC in which Mohs micrographic surgery and reconstructive surgery were augmented with pre- and post-operative hyperbaric oxygen therapy.
