Estimating Size of BCC Through Skin Flap? Can I tell how big my BCC (Basal Cell Carcinoma) was by my reconstruction skin flap that measured 2cm x 2cm? I had Mohs Surgery and the margins were clean.

A: The path report should have the answer to BCC size

When a skin cancer is removed, and a microscope is used to examine the margins(this can be done by a pathologist-frozen section or a dermatologist - Mohs) the path report should have the answer. The size of the defect will affect the size of the flap closure but there are other variables the reconstructive surgeon must consider, such as the shape(long and narrow vs round) ,position on the face(cheek is easier to close than nose), blood supply to the flap, etc. As long as the result is good and the margins are free, th question should be moot.
