ABSTRACT
Toluidine blue (TB) is a metachromatic dye used as a stain in frozen sections in Mohs micrographic surgery (MMS). The current literature on the use of TB is sparse and generally qualitative in nature. The aim of this systematic review was to summarize and evaluate the existing literature analyzing TB use in MMS. The PubMed and Cochrane databases were searched for relevant studies published before December 1, 2019. Studies that analyzed the use of TB in frozen sections applicable to MMS were included. A total of 25 articles were reviewed, of which 12 fit the inclusion criteria. Our analysis showed that TB may play an important role in the successful diagnosis and treatment of particular cutaneous tumors.
