AB  - SUMMARYSurgical  excision  is  a  mainstay  in  a  dermatologic  surgeon’s  armamentarium  and  is  the  most  common  and  well-accepted  procedure  for  both  melanoma  and  nonmelanoma  skin  cancer.The  incision  should  uniformly  release  the  skin  edge  to  the  target  anatomic  depth  while  minimizing  beveling  of  the  wound  edge.In  simple  excision,  the  ellipse  should  form  a  30-  to  75-degree  angle  at  the  apex,  and  its  length  should  be  three  or  four  times  its  width  to  allow  for  a  clean  linear  closure.
