ABSTRACT
The tangential excision technique for removal of skin tumours has been previously described for truncal superficial BCCs but never before as an option for debulking prior to Mohs micrographic surgery (MMS). Tangential excision debulking with vertical sections represents an alternative to traditional curettage debulking and offers many advantages, most notably a far better tissue specimen for histopathological analysis.

Trichodysplasia spinulosa is a rare polyomavirus-associated cutaneous eruption occurring in the setting of immunosuppression. Clinically it is characterised by multiple centrofacial folliculocentric papules with spinous protuberances. The histopathology is distinct and treatment with antiviral agents appears to be the most effective.
