Mohs micrographic surgery for the treatment of cutaneous lymphadenoma

J Drugs Dermatol. 2011 Nov;10(11):1324-6.

Abstract

Cutaneous lymphadenoma (CL) is a benign neoplasm commonly presenting on the head and neck of young and middle-aged adults. Complete surgical excision of CL is the treatment of choice and appears to be curative. As compared to local excision without margin control, Mohs micrographic surgery (MMS) may allow for more definitive tumor extirpation for large cases of CL and allow for greater tissue preservation at functionally and aesthetically sensitive sites. We present a case of cutaneous lymphadenoma presenting on the right cheek of a middle-aged male who was successfully treated with MMS.
