I just received results of my second melanoma in situ excision (first was August 2015). They read as follows "Melanoma in-situ is present as close as 1.0mm from the inked peripheral margin" and that "stained sections shos a small focus of proliferation or melanocytes along the dermal-epidermal junction. The melanocytesdemonstate severe cytologic atypia, with enlarged nuclei and dusty cytoplasm. There is lymphocytic inflammation in the dermis".
My derm surgeon has said I need to come back to have more margins taken, likey since the above reads it is as close as 1.0mm from the margin. Does anyone know what the rest means?
