  • Title: Positive surgical excision margins of a basal cell carcinoma.
    Author: Grabski WJ, Salasche SJ.
    Journal: Dermatol Surg; 1998 Aug; 24(8):921-4. PubMed ID: 9723063.
    Abstract:
    This case illustrates two strongly and diametrically opposed options advocated in the literature for dealing with positive surgical margins. The best plan is to individualize the decision-making process based on the available variables (histology, location of positive margins), the patient's age and health, and a "guided," but informed decision by the patient.
