When confronted with a histologic specimen that is appreciably smaller than the same tissue specimen immediately after acquisition, the Mohs surgeon is faced with two possibilities, namely that the tissue has either shrunken during laboratory processing or that the histologic specimen is incomplete due to the introduction of technical errors during embedding, cutting, or staining of the skin specimen. Because the entire objective of Mohs micrographic surgery is to precisely examine the entire surgical margin of skin specimens, the surgeon must be able to determine that any size discrepancies introduced during laboratory processing are not related to incomplete surgical specimens. Although there are anecdotal suggestions that skin, like other human tissues, undergoes some degree of shrinkage during routine frozen section processing, the exact nature and magnitude of this phenomenon has not been previously investigated.
