      My dermatologist told me at my annual skin check that there is no certainty that Melanoma in Situ will ever evolve into Invasive Melanoma.  Much like atpical moles not having a biological certainty either.  A lof of dermatologists are now following the Harold Kittler school of thought that invasive melanoma was always a melanoma, from the onset and that melanoma in situ will always be melanoma in situ.

          An Atypical Mile though, it doesn’t have cancer cells and it doesn’t really have a risk where as Mel in situ has Melanoma cells and should be treated as mel.
