| Abstract | Background: Skin tumors are common. Recommended treatment in most cases is surgery, with margins adapted. Except in the case of simple resection and suture, it is necessary to know the status of the margins before reconstructing the defect. A one-stage technique is possible with frozen section analysis, which gives the surgeon an intraoperative assessment of resection quality. The aim of our work is to study the reliability of the frozen section procedure. Method: A retrospective study included 689 patients who underwent surgery for skin tumor (excluding melanoma) between January 2011 and December 2019 at the University Hospital of Caen, France. Results: In 639 patients (92.75%), the frozen section analysis found healthy margins. There were 21 cases of discrepancy between the frozen section analysis and final histology. Infiltrating and scleroderma-like basal cell carcinomas showed a significantly higher frequency of affected margins on frozen section analysis (p < 0.001). The tumor size and location played a significant role in the margin status. Conclusion: In our department, the frozen section procedure is the reference examination indicating immediate flap reconstruction. The present study demonstrated its interest and overall reliability. However, it is to be used according to histologic type, size, and location. |
