Dear All,
I have found this forum as I am seeking advice regarding my histopathology results and I've decided to post a new topic since I believe that I will find people here who will be able to advise me. I will be genuinely grateful to anyone who would like to read it or assist. If there are any doctors who would like to share their opinion I would be indebted too.
I am 26 year-old white man ( from Europe) who has blond hair, blue eyes and plenty of moles ( more then 50) on my entire body.
But my story starts now: I had a mole excised. The mole was localized on the fifth toe of the right foot.
I received a recommendation to have it removed from my dermatologist which I followed.
I can't remeber for how long this mole was present on my toe, however, I noticed it around 1,5-2 years ago, but I did not consult it with any doctor that time. The mole never hurt or bleeded.
Now I received the results of histopathology which is: "Naevus Spitzi compositus pigmentosus ( Excisio completa)".
I am worried since I have read about the cases where melanoma was erroneously recognized as a Spitz Nevus. It happened due to the the fact that Spitz Nevus and melanoma show a very close resemblance to each other and are challenging to be differentiated.
Therefore, I am seeking further advise how to proceed with that. I would like to ensure myself that my mole was a Spitz Nevus instead of melanoma in order to reduce the likelihood of incorrect diagnosis. I have found out that sometimes FISH tests are carried out to examine such sample more extensively.
I also attach the videodermatoscopy image of this mole that I had done before it was removed.
Is here anyone who has some experience with Spitz Nevus and would like to share it or advise? .
Thank you in advance for all your feedback and your time.
Paweł
