    "description": "The first round of Mohs micrographic surgery for a skin cancer on the trunk, an arm, or a leg. As with the head and neck version, one physician removes a thin layer of tumor, then acts as the pathologist, mapping and reading the frozen tissue during the same visit so any remaining cancer can be pinpointed. This code differs from its sibling only in the body region treated; additional layers on these sites are reported with their own code.",
