I was just looking over my husband's pathology report from his first primary. The report says that the lesion is melanoma in situ. However, it is 0.4mm deep, references a Clark's Level II, and has a mitotic rate of 1-2.
I think I remember Janner saying that in situ has no depth listed. Is that right? What would be the staging on this lesion?
Agree. Anything with a Breslow depth has already become invasive as opposed to in situ. It could be predominantly in situ (in epidermis only) with a portion invasive/stage 1.
