title: [Extemporaneous histologic examination of cutaneous carcinoma of the face].
abstract: One hundred thirty-eight skin cancers of the face were reviewed retrospectively in order to evaluate the extemporaneous histology examination. The results obtained were satisfactory and in agreement with those in the literature. This technique is perfectly adapted to cancers with a facial localization. In our opinion, the indication for extemporaneous examinations should be widened to all cases of epithelioma of the face.
