      Would a in situ melanoma reoccurrance on the scar of my wle be considered metastic disease.

      My onc has possibly mentioned this but i thought metastic would have a depth on the melanoma not have no depth.

          No, a recurrence at the initial site is not considered metastatic. I think you would need a lot more information about lymph nodes, multiple cutaneous locations, etc.
