Johnson square procedure for lentigo maligna and lentigo maligna melanoma

Lentigo maligna (LM) and lentigo maligna melanoma (LMM) can be difficult to manage surgically. Predetermined margins can be inadequate because of subclinical spread, or can affect function when margins are adjacent to the eye or mouth.
