Abstract

Atypical fibroxanthoma, malignant fibrous histiocytoma, sebaceous carcinoma, and extramammary Paget disease are rare cutaneous tumors. Their recognition and diagnosis are critical in decreasing long-term morbidity and mortality. Surgical excision is the treatment of choice for these tumors, and Mohs micrographic surgery has been shown to be as favorable or better than wide local excision in providing long-term clearance rates.
