BACKGROUND: @entity2583 is an invasive @entity364 that most commonly occurs in immunocompromised @entity1 . Early angioinvasion and dissemination can lead to the rapid demise of the @entity1 . The growing number of organ transplant @entity1 on pharmacologic immunosuppression has increased the risk for this @entity1292 . Traditional therapy has included aggressive debridement and resection as well as antifungal medications. OBJECTIVE: To demonstrate that the margin control and tissue-sparing technique of Mohs micrographic surgery can effectively eradicate @entity281 and decrease morbidity. METHODS: Case presentation of a 64-year-old transplant @entity1 presenting with biopsy-proven @entity2583 treated with Mohs micrographic surgery. Margin control was confirmed by a rapid Gomori @entity1332 silver stain. RESULTS: There has been no recurrence at 1-year follow-up with full preservation of extremity function. CONCLUSION: The use of the Mohs technique combined with rapid Gomori @entity1332 staining for @entity2583 can be an effective tissue-sparing method for local control of this @entity364 . Mohs micrographic surgery should be considered for the cutaneous manifestations of @entity2583 .
