      Hello all,

      I have a copy of my path report now and just wanted to know if anyone could advise what Regression Present 0.6mm means?

      The write up reads –

      The juncational component shows feature of an in-situ mealanma of superfical spreading subtype with a large atypical melanocytes howing some suprabasal spread single and in nest.  Beneathe this there is a much chronic inflammation and pigmant incontinence with regression a thickness of 0.6mm.

      Breslow depth 0.57mm

      Mitotic index 1

      Bit confused with the ulceration, I was told not ulcerated but in the report it states not identified.

       

      Thank you

      Mandy
