Benjamin Kelley, MD directs Mohs Surgery and Cutaneous Oncology in Encinitas at Scripps Clinic, holding triple board certification in Dermatology, Dermatopathology, and Micrographic Dermatologic Surgery. Advanced melanoma and rare cutaneous tumor staging requires cross-sectional imaging coordination, a diagnostic workflow this practice maintains with Imaging Healthcare Specialists for CT and MRI evaluation of regional lymph node basins. A Rush Medical College graduate who completed both dermatopathology and Mohs surgery fellowships at the Mayo Clinic College of Medicine, the practice holds FAAD and FACMS designations and also earned an MBA from UCSD's Rady School of Management. Dual fellowship training enables personal interpretation of tissue during Mohs surgery using immunohistochemical stains — including SOX10, MART-1, and PRAME — for precise margin control on melanoma and complex adnexal carcinomas. Skin cancer screening referrals from primary care providers such as Healthtopia Clinics feed into the Scripps MD Anderson cutaneous oncology pipeline, which processes over 400 melanoma referrals annually. The practice's highest-complexity procedures include immunohistochemically guided Mohs excision of desmoplastic melanoma with perineural invasion, requiring serial frozen-section analysis across multiple tissue levels for complete tumor clearance.
