ABSTRACT
Lentigo maligna melanoma and lentigo maligna are typically located on photo-exposed sites such as the head and neck, with the cheek being the most common site. Since lentigo maligna melanoma and lentigo maligna are found predominantly on such cosmetically-sensitive areas, it is critical to determine the exact histologic margin for maximal sparing of tissue and complete extirpation of the tumor. Since Mohs micrographic surgery has been recommended for tumors on cosmetically-sensitive locations where the tumor margin is indistinct, it appears to be a reasonable treatment modality for this type of tumor. We describe a case of lentigo maligna melanoma on the cheek, which was resected with Mohs micrographic surgery.
