Do you give neoadjuvant intralesional 5FU/MTX prior to Mohs for CSCC purely to reduce scar size and improve cosmetic outcome?
I worry about introducing skip lesions and there is fairly limited data.

No. With Mohs surgery, we know we can get high cure rates and good cosmetic outcomes.

I have never given intralesional chemotherapy before Mohs. The idea of shrinking the tumor before Mohs is interesting but I would be concerned with the amount of inflammation this could produce. It could make the interpretation of the Mohs slides more difficult.
