Hi!
I had a mole on my knee removed via punch biopsy 2 weeks ago. I have the dermatopathology report, but have not yet heard from the dermatologist what it means. Information online is confusing so I thought I'd ask here to see if someone had insight for me. Here is the report:
"Desmoplastic dermal nevus-immunoreactive for Melan-A and S100 stains. Ki-67 stain low proliferation index".

I had an atypical Spitz nevus 2 years ago, but that one was negative for S100 and Ki-67. I had a re-excision procedure to ensure clear margins at that time.
I'm just wondering if the above results would indicate further treatment (such as re-excisions) or do they mean a benign lesion? I'm going to call the dermatologist on Monday, but any info in the meantime would be very appreciated.
Thanks,
Nicole
