title: Treatment of an oral erythroplastic squamous cell carcinoma with Mohs' micrographic surgery.
abstract: In the case presented in this article, a large superficial erythroplastic oral carcinoma with vaguely delineated clinical borders and foci of invasive squamous cell carcinoma was treated with Mohs' micrographic surgery. This provided a safe, thorough, yet conservative mode of treatment. Mohs' micrographic surgery may be considered among the alternative treatments for selected mucosal lesions of squamous cell carcinoma.
