Abstract
In the past, a lot of individual surgery procedures and histopathological investigation for skin tumors have been extensively discussed in the literature, e.g., Mohs’ surgery and methods of other disciplines as well. This interdisciplinary book attempts to summarize and compare the most commonly used methods in order to give the reader the most comprehensive and complete overview of the current state of the art in the field. To this end, the basic principles of various surgical methods and following histological workups of the complete 3D tumor margins will be described and extensively graphically illustrated to allow a better understanding. Furthermore, also more complex treatments of larger tumors will be discussed and comprehensively illustrated.
