Abstract
Background: Lentigo maligna (LM) is a type of in situ melanoma that is usually located in actinic skin damage areas in elderly patients. Surgical excision with 0.5 cm margins has been traditionally used, but due to its common subclinical extension, this margin might be insufficient. Slow micrographic Mohs surgery (SMMS) is being progressively implanted because of its low recurrence rate.
