Abstract
Background/Objectives: Mohs micrographic surgery (MMS) is a precise skin surgery technique that is particularly useful in the treatment of high-risk skin cancers and tumors located in challenging anatomical areas. Methods: we report two cases of basal cell carcinoma located in the acral areas effectively treated using MMS. Results: the presented cases demonstrate that MMS is an excellent surgical modality providing outstanding medical, cosmetic, and functional outcomes. Moreover, this study provides another dermoscopic presentation of acral basal cell carcinoma in a patient without the diagnosis of hereditary genetic syndromes associated with an increased risk of skin cancer. Conclusions: basal cell carcinoma located on hands and feet, albeit rare, should be included in the differential diagnosis of amelanotic skin tumors in acral areas.
