      Hello, I'm confused about the pathology testing. I had a biopsy, got the results, then surgery, and am waiting the results of the surgery now. Is it common for results to change between biopsy and excision? Am I waiting just to hear about the margins?

          Yes the pathology from the WLE is just making sure there is no melanoma near the margins. Should be an uneventful pathology report when you get it.
