Ex vivo confocal laser scanning microscopy (CLSM) is a novel integrative non-invasive imaging tool that can be used within Mohs micrographic surgery (MMS), for tumour margin assessment. Studies have reported up to 88% sensitivity and 99% specificity (Bennassar A et al, 2014) with CLSM in diagnosing basal cell carcinomas (BCCs), compared to conventional histology. Its real-world utility in the literature has triggered variable opinion among practising Mohs surgeons. The fourth-generation Vivascope-2500 allows fresh tissue scanning with minimal preparation with acetic acid and acridine orange, c...
