title: Mohs surgery for melanoma in situ: how we do it.
abstract: The advent of rapid immunostains has made the use of Mohs surgery to treat melanoma more practical. Mohs surgery is especially useful in the management of lentigo maligna, which often has indistinct clinical margins. The authors describe their technique for treating melanoma in situ with Mohs surgery.
