Margin of error: accuracy of estimated excision margins

Australasian Journal of Plastic Surgery, 2022
Guidelines for recommended margins for common lesions are well documented but while accuracy generally improves with surgical experience, margins are largely underestimated.

Recurrent Dermatofibrosarcoma Protuberans of the Vulva: A Rare Occurrence and Review of Literature

Journal of Family and Reproductive Health, 2021
Objective: Dermatofibrosarcoma protuberans (DFSP) of the vulva is an uncommon soft tissue tumor with fewer than 60 cases reported previously. Distant metastasis is rare with a high propensity for local invasion.

Preoperative Evaluation through Dermoscopy and Reflectance Confocal Microscopy of the Lateral Excision Margins for Primary Basal Cell Carcinoma

Diagnostics, 2021
Complete removal of malignant skin lesions with minimal impact on the aesthetic and functional aspects is the ideal of every dermatologic surgeon. Incomplete surgical excisions and tumor recurrences of basal cell carcinomas (BCC) commonly occur due to ...

Effects of lesion size, shape, and resection amount on the final length of the scar in staged excision: An animal experiment in pigs [PDF]

Archives of Aesthetic Plastic Surgery, 2020
Background In staged excision procedures, it is difficult to estimate the number of excisions that will be required and the extent of scar lengthening. The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of the size, shape, and resection amount of ...

Comparison of Wire and Non-Wire Localisation Techniques in Breast Cancer Surgery: A Review of the Literature with Pooled Analysis

Medicina, 2023
Background and Objectives: Wide local excision is a common procedure in the treatment of breast cancer. Wire-guided localisation (WGL) has been the gold standard for many years; however, several issues have been identified with this technique, and ...

An adequate margin of excision in ductal carcinoma in situ [PDF]

BMJ, 2005
2 mm plus radiotherapy is as good as a bigger margin T he widespread use of mammography screening has led to a change in the perceived pathology of breast cancer. The increased detection of asymptomatic disease has resulted in an increased incidence of ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS), which now accounts for about 20% of all cases of breast cancer. In

Radiological Underestimation of Tumor Size Influences the Success Rate of Re-Excision after Breast-conserving Surgery

European Journal of Breast Health, 2021
Objective:Failure to achieve adequate margins after breast-conserving surgery often leads to re-excision, either by repeat breast-conserving surgery (BCS) or by mastectomy.

Linguine technique for excision of lentigo maligna and poorly defined non-melanotic skin cancer – A case series

JPRAS Open, 2019
Accurately identifying the clinical margins of lesions such as lentigo maligna, lentigo maligna melanoma and other non-melanotic skin cancers can often be a clinical challenge.

Comparing preoperative mapping with reflectance confocal microscopy to surgical markings in lentigo maligna excision of the face: a pilot study

Australasian Journal of Plastic Surgery, 2020
**Background**: Lentigo maligna (LM) characteristically has an ill-defined margin and may require multiple excisions to achieve complete excision with 5 mm margins. In vivo reflectance confocal microscopy (RCM) is a non-invasive tool recognised as useful
