Abstract
Unresectable superficial malignant tumors, such as skin cancer or skin metastases from all kinds of cancer, cause exudate, bleeding, odor, and pain. It is difficult to control these symptoms, and they reduce patients' quality of life. Mohs chemosurgery was originally used as treatment for skin cancer by fixing tissues with Mohs' paste, including zinc chloride. Recently, in Japan, it has been used not only for skin cancer, but also to treat several symptoms associated with unresectable superficial malignant tumors, and the effectiveness of this treatment has been frequently reported.
Herein, we report a case of a 63-year-old man with bleeding from a local recurrence of rectal cancer after surgical resection, who was effectively treated with Mohs chemosurgery.
