Hi everyone, My WLE pathology reported a MAXIMUM 2.5mm Breslow thickness. Does anybody know if thats common practice to report the thickness in maximum terms rather than a precise number?
That means it was the thickest portion found in the submitted specimine. There were likely some other areas where the depth wasn't as great. It doesn't "burrow" evenly across the skin. Imagine you dog digs a hole in the backyard. What you want to know, is how deep is the deepest point… and did he hit any of your irrigation system?
