The use of Mohs micrographic surgery for poorly defined cutaneous tumors is present in a few departments in Spain. Reintervention is occasionally necessary when the margins of the surgical specimen are invaded by the tumor. We propose the use of ultrasound to assess these margins by imaging the surgical specimen once excised.
