      I understand what the general terms mean by themselves, but not all put together. Any thoughts?

       

      #1: Severely Atypical Compound Melanocytic Nevus — 1.3 cm diameter, 0.2 cm thickness,
      "There is an asymmetrical proliferation of severaly atypical melanocytes in nests within the epidermis and dermis. A very rare melanocyte is slighty above the dermal/epidermal junction. In some areas, there is concentric and lamellar fibroplasia within the papillary dermis. Other areas have a patchy lymphocytic infiltrate. The pan melanoma cocktail immunoperoxidase stains show the melanocytes to be present in the lower levels of the epidermis, controls appropriate."

       

      #2: Severely Atypical Acral Compound Melanocytic Nevus —- 0.6 cm diamter, 0.1 thickness,
      Same as above —- "There is an asymmetrical proliferation of severaly atypical melanocytes in nests within the epidermis and dermis. A very rare melanocyte is slighty above the dermal/epidermal junction. In some areas, there is concentric and lamellar fibroplasia within the papillary dermis.
