In transit means the melanoma is traveling via the lymph and or blood vessels. This means it is not on the surface of the skin but deeper in the skin at the vessel level. There is a "distance" between local and intransits – maybe 2cm? Can't remember for certain. But since your lesion states in situ, that means it is on the surface of the skin and most likely would be considered a local recurrence. Not all the cells were removed at the site and they grew again.
