Deep venous thrombosis following Mohs micrographic surgery: case report.

Deep venous thrombosis (DVT) of the lower extremity is a common adverse outcome following large surgical procedures on the lower extremities, such as orthopedic surgery. It is a much rarer occurrence following Mohs micrographic surgery especially when patients have not immobilized the extremity. Reports of postoperative thrombotic or thromboembolic disease in the dermatologic literature are sparse and involve mainly cases where anticoagulation was discontinued prior to the procedure in individuals with underlying hypercoagulable states.
