Fluorescent diagnostics is a promising method for diagnosing non-melanocytic skin tumors, which makes it possible to identify clinically undetectable cancer foci and clarify the margin of tumor lesion. The main drugs ‹uorescent are based on 5-aminolevulinic acid its methyl ester. Sensitivity indicators in basal cell, squamous cell carcinoma extramammary Paget’s disease reach 79.0-100.0%, speci city – 55.6-100%. But effectiveness this may be reduced due hyperkeratinization, keratinization, presence necrotic tissue surface foci. Comparative studies results histological mapping during removal using Mohs micrographic surgery showed approximately equal determining edges by these methods, indicates that safe technically easily performed can serve as good alternative surgery, one most accurate, but rather labor-intensive complex
