Wide Excision or Mohs Micrographic Surgery for the Treatment of Primary Dermatofibrosarcoma Protuberans

Abstract

From a surgical standpoint, WE was faster than MMS and resulted in a less complex defect/closure. Although positive margin resection was more common with WE, local control was ultimately similar for the 2 surgical modalities. The choice of WE versus MMS should be based on individualized patients/tumor characteristics and institutional expertise in these modalities.
