Innovative laboratory techniques to facilitate processing of large Mohs cases.
BACKGROUND
Processing multiple tissue sections in large Mohs cases is time consuming and labor intensive.


OBJECTIVE
To present innovative laboratory techniques to facilitate processing of large Mohs cases.


METHODS
A method for processing a large dermatofibrosarcoma protuberans Mohs case is outlined.


RESULTS
Modifications in tissue processing and equipment employed in a large Mohs case are presented.


CONCLUSIONS
Innovative modifications to the standard Mohs laboratory technique can facilitate processing of large Mohs cases, resulting in high-quality, rapid frozen sections while optimizing efficiency.
