title: Mohs surgery report: an approach to cutaneous surgical defects of forehead and eyebrow following Mohs micrographic surgery.
abstract: Elective excisions of the forehead are relatively easy to plan because of the prominence of horizontal skin folds and vertical glabellar furrows. However, the variety of defects in that region which result from Mohs micrographic surgery for cutaneous tumors frequently present reconstructive challenges. Principles applicable to this anatomic region and illustrative cases are presented and discussed.
