Just to share my experience: My 6 year old daughter had a mole biopsied on her scalp last year and the result was also spitz nevus. Dr. Hideko Kamino of NYU dermatopathology did the test (she also diagnosed my melanoma several years ago and is one of the lead authors of the group that discovered “Kamino Bodies”). In the report, she indicated that there are focal feature of a dysplastic nevus and recommended a conservative removal if the lesion persists or recurs. We didn’t want to take any chance and removed the section via a punch biopsy which cleared the area.

I actually have no issue waiting for the results. I understand it takes time and lot of work but it is very frustrating when Drs have the reports but sit on it for days …
