[Mohs micrographic surgery: concept, technic and indications].

Mohs Micrographic Surgery is a technic to treat severe cutaneous carcinoma. By performing a microscopic and topographic analysis of the whole tissue excised, both a reduction of the surgical margin and margins in normal tissue is obtained. The major indications of micrographic surgery are recurrent basalcell carcinoma after surgery or radiotherapy, not fully excised or localized on the nose and the mediofacial region, some spinouscell carcinoma and dermatofibrosarcoma protuberans.

[Secondary wound healing with reference to anatomic subunits in operations of the mid-facial area].

The healing of wounds by secondary intention is a simple method to close operative defects. The quality of wound healing will depend on the anatomic site on the face as well as on size and depth of the defect. Best functional and cosmetic results are obtained at locations with concave geometry and when the defect lies symmetrically at the interface of two anatomic subunits. Partial reconstruction or guiding sutures can create a symmetric defect in relation to anatomic subunits which will heal by second intention. This simple and efficient operative procedure is illustrated by two case reports.

Kaposi's sarcoma following allogeneic bone marrow transplantation.

Localised Kaposi's sarcoma (KS) was diagnosed 240 days after allogeneic bone marrow transplantation (BMT) in a severely immunosuppressed HIV negative patient with genetic predisposition. The tumour was of host origin, based on PCR amplification of DNA minisatellites. Treatment with radiotherapy prompted almost complete regression of the lesions. However the patient subsequently died with relapsed acute myelogenous leukaemia. Contrary to the incidence observed after organ allografts, the advent of KS appears to be exceptional after BMT, since only one case has been reported to date, following reinfusion of autologous marrow.
