      This was written in a pathology report taken from a mole on my mid-abdomen.  I apparently have many of these moles. Is it malignant? Can someone kindly opine and suggest what next steps should be?  Should I be seeking a digital dermatascopy exam?

      From report:

      The dennoepidermal junction contains a melinocytic proliferation in which the melanocytes are disposed primarily in nests.  Many of  the melanocytes show mild cytologic atypia, bridge and fuse adjacent rete and are associated with a fibrosis of  superficial papillary dermis.
