AB  - The combination of Mohs micrographic surgery and
sentinel lymph node biopsy in the treatment of penile
melanoma is novel. Mohs surgery allows the removal of
penile malignancies with microscopically controlled
tumor-free borders, while maintaining cosmetic and
functional demands through the maximal preservation
of normal tissue. Sentinel lymph node biopsy minimizes
the morbidity associated with inguinal node dissection.
At 30 months follow-up, these two modalities together
have achieved local control and regional nodal staging
while minimizing functional morbidity.
