        Hi,

        Also sharing that the same happened to me.  After the original Wide Area Exicision the pathologists were not comfortable with the margins.  So in my case they did a subsequent Open Mohs  (nicknamed Slow Mohs) procedure.  That involved cutting more out, but keeping the wound open for the week it took to get the pathology report back.  It came back with acceptable margins this time, so they sewed me back up.

        Definitely don't freak out about it, and as noted above, definitely worth it to sleep better that they got it all.
