| Abstrakt: | Mohs micrographic surgery (MMS) utilizing melanoma antigen recognized by T-cells (MART-1) immunostaining is an increasingly common method of treatment for minimally invasive melanoma in anatomically constrained areas such as the face, ears, or acral sites. Neurotropic melanoma, also known as neurotrophism in melanoma, refers to the invasion of melanoma cells into the nerves. As such, these tumors can extend well beyond anticipated clinical tumor margins which can increase the risk of local recurrence. Here, we present a case of neurotropic melanoma successfully identified during MMS using MART-1 immunostaining, which was then confirmed with permanent sectioning.
