- Mohs micrographic surgery for pigmented basal-cell carcinomas over the scalp. A) Pigmented basal-cell carcinomas over the scalp. B) Dermoscopic findings show the absence of a pigment network; there are white, pink, gray, and light-brown stroma, with sharply defined, fine linear, and branching arborizing vessels. C) Immediate first stage post-MMS. D) Coloring the specimen for the frozen section.

- Mohs micrographic surgery for primary mucinous carcinoma. A) Primary mucinous carcinoma of the skin over the left temporal area. B) Dermoscopic findings show a whitish network and light-brown globules with branching serpentine vessels. C) Skin biopsy specimen revealed a dermal mass composed of glands and solid nests of epithelial cells which appear to be floating in copious mucin (Hematoxylin and Eosin staining). D) Complete healing by secondary intention.
