MICRO:  Initial and level sections were examined.  Sections show an asymmetric, severely atypical junctional melanocytic proliferation with focally confluent lentiginous growth and varying degrees of atypical architecture (i.e. bridging of melanocyttes between elongated rete ridges, poor nesting, papillary dermal fibroplasia, "shouldering phenomenom," and lymphocytic response).  Immunohistochemical stains, with appropriately reactive contrrols, show that th eproliferation expresses S100 and MelanA strongly.  There are apparent dermal nests labeled; however examination of adjacent routine-stained sections show that they likley emanate directly from the epidermis.

PATHOLOGICAL DIAGNOSIS:  Malignant melanoma in-situ, present at superficial margin, arising in association with dysplastic nevus, skin, L. lateral back.

The copy of the pathology report did not specify whether it was lateral or deep.  It was a pretty generic report.
