title: Innovative laboratory techniques to facilitate processing of large Mohs cases.
abstract: 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.
