Although it is easy and useful to perform, it needs technical expertise and experience for proper interpretation. The yield of DIF depends on multiple factors including the adequacy, transportation, storage, processing, and interpretation of the biopsy specimen. Effective collaboration between the dermatologist and dermatopathologist along with meticulous clinico-pathological correlation is crucial for accurately interpreting DIF in the appropriate clinical context.\u0000In this narrative review of DIF in dermatology, we discuss the indications of DIF, recent updates on the selection of optimum biopsy sites, basic techniques of DIF including the classical transport medium and its alternatives, processing and staining technique, patterns in various diseases, advancements such as serration pattern analysis, and latest recommendations on the use of DIF in cutaneous disorders.","PeriodicalId":513160,"journal":{"name":"Indian Journal of Dermatology, Venereology and Leprology","volume":"119 10","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-08-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141926198","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In this review we present 15 such studies assessing QOL in patients of dermatological diseases who were given camouflage therapy.

There is insufficient data to determine whether functional surgery is less effective than amputation for nSCC that does not involve the bone.\u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000We aimed to investigate existing data on the outcomes of functional surgery and amputation for nSCC without bone invasion.\u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000We carried out an extensive search in PubMed, Embase, Cochrane Library, Web of Science, and Scopus for appropriate English-language academic papers, starting with the creation of individual resources until February 23, 2023. The main outcome was local recurrence. Initially, 2191 studies related to nSCC were selected. Information from every research study was retrieved and subdivided, comprising the year of publication, period, number of patients, age, gender distribution, tumour stage, type of intervention, number of recurrences, and follow-up period.\u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000Ten independent studies (319 lesions) were finally selected. Mohs micrographic surgery was the most reported surgical modality, followed by wide surgical excision and amputation. Local recurrence rates between Mohs micrographic surgery, wide surgical excision and amputation treatment were nearly identical. Other surgical methods included limited surgical excision, partial ablation, and limited excision until the clearing of margins, with recurrence rates up to 50%.\u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000Given the functional impairment and psychological distress associated with phalanx amputation, functional surgery, including Mohs micrographic surgery and wide surgical excision , should be the preferred therapy for nSCC without bone involvement.
