        I'll just call the lab monday morning and hope they have finished since I need to know immediately because I just learned last night my grandmother passed away outside of the united states and I need to leave as soon as possible

              It is a dermatopathologist, yeah I'm confused as well unless they cut part of the tissue and viewed it, trust me I'm just as confused and dermatologist is closed until monday, which is probably when the finally results will be done. The biopsy was 7x5x1mm no idea if that size plays a factor and they cut it to look at smaller sections or what

                    Also to add on to that, i'm guessing even though probablity it's benign they just have to cut deeper to see if its a mole or not and just determine if its okay if it is a mole even though every thing looks fine right now, but they're just making sure?

                          They aren't doing anymore excisions on me. They're just doing it on the sample that was sent already.

                           

                          So my main question is the report saying they think it might be a benign mole instead of a freckle? Or we think there is a mole that is cancerous is my wondering

                                So I talked to the dermatologist finally and she basically said the same thing. I don't get what it means by deeper cut, like what exactly does that mean or entail?

                                 

                                Janner or anyone else who has knowledge, I'm sure there are case where a few where something suspicous showed up, but typically from reports you've seen this is basically a report saying don't worry it's benign, we're just trying to figure out if its a mole or freckle?

                                Please correct me if I'm wrong, but I would assume they would mention if they saw something suspicous in terms of cancer they would say it?
