Brief summary: Mohs micro-graphic surgery (Mohs) is a tissue-sparing, surgical treatment for different types of skin cancer (e.g. basal cell carcinoma, squamous cell carcinoma, lentigo maligna (melanoma). It is a procedure performed with frozen sections. Slow Mohs, a variant of micro-graphic surgery, is performed by formalin fixation and paraffin-embedded sections. Both in Mohs and Slow Mohs tumor margins are assessed to achieve complete removal. This study aims to investigate the clinical presentation and outcomes (i.e. complications and recurrence rates) in patients treated with Mohs or Slow Mohs in the dermatology department of the Maastricht University Medical Center+ in Maastricht, the Netherlands.


Eligibility criteria: Inclusion Criteria:

* patients with a cutaneous lesion with an indication for Mohs micrographic surgery or Slow Mohs
* patients who received a treatment with either Mohs or Slow Mohs between 1 july 2017 and 1 july 2023 at the dermatology department of the Maastricht University Medical Center+.

Exclusion Criteria:

* None.

Primary outcomes:
measure: Incidence of complications

measure: Incidence of recurrence
timeFrame: Up to 5 year after completion of the surgical intervention.
Secondary outcomes:
measure: Hazard ratio of predisposing factors for complications
timeFrame: Within 1 month after completion of the surgical intervention.
measure: Hazard ratio of predisposing factors for recurrence
