      Hi.
      I have a question about my path report.
      from what i,ve read mine does not include mention of most of the item talked about or read about
      Online. It is from Columbia dermatpathology NYC.
      It reads: ” I interpret this as in situ melanoma, possibly arising in a dysplastic nevis.
      The lesion extends to one peripheral margin in the plane of bisection.”
      This was ashave biopsy.
      Micro: the specimen is bisected and shows confluent junctional melanocytic nests as well as many
      Single melanocytes extending upward within the epidermis.

      Is this sufficient? I,m puzzled that thi eas all that was written.
      Appreciate your opinions. Thanks.
