Mohs micrographic surgery for cutaneous lymphadenoma.
Cutaneous lymphadenoma clinically present as pink papules or plaques resembling a basal cell carcinoma on the head and neck of young adults. Surgical excision is the treatment for these benign tumors. Cutaneous lymphadenoma may occur in an anatomically sensitive area, where margin control and conservative excision are indicated. Although not previously described in the literature, Mohs micrographic surgery (MMS) is a treatment option for cutaneous lymphadenoma. We present a series of three individuals with cutaneous lymphadenoma treated with MMS.
