Surgical removal of melanoma in situ using Mohs micrographic surgery is well-documented and highly recommended.[[1]] After Mohs surgery, several reconstructive methods exist; however, secondary intention healing is often overlooked despite its potential benefits, including reduced cost,[[3]] limited time commitment,[[3]] and possible cosmetic superiority.[[3], [5]] Here, we present a case of cosmetically exceptional secondary intention healing results after the removal of melanoma in situ on the right clavicle. Discussion As seen in our patient, secondary intention healing not only is a viable option for wound closure after Mohs surgery but is also a healing method with unique benefits. Nonetheless, secondary intention healing might gain popularity and play a unique role in the treatment of wounds during the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic given the dynamic and independent nature of the healing method.
