MS4 Josh Hays’ original observation about the
risk of reactive eccrine syringofibroadenoma causing confusion with
basal cell carcinoma during Mohs surgery drew the praise of Mayo Clinic
(Rochester, Minnesota) dermatologic surgeon Dr. Jonathan Lopez in his
companion Commentary to the report in the May 2018 issue of Dermatologic
Surgery (44: 740-741). Dr. Lopez commended the authors and wrote,
“Their astute observation prevented unnecessary tissue removal…” Josh’s
coauthors were Drs. Malone, former UTMB dermatology resident and UTMB’s
first Micrographic Surgery Fellow, Brandon Goodwin, UTMB dermatology and
dermatopathology faculty, and Richard Wagner, UTMB Micrographic Surgery
Fellowship Director.
