The initial biopsy was just a scrap for what I know, just the top was taken off. It is on my right shoulder blade area. Here is what the entire pathology report says;
A. Right Upper Back, Biopsy by Shave Method
High-Density Intraepidermal Melanocytic Proliferation with severe atypia; re-excision recommended
Comment: As the Atypical Melanocytic proliferation extends to the margins of the specimen, complete excision of th esite is recommended for treatment and full pathologic evaluation
specimen Description
A. The specimen is received in 10% buffered formalin. It is given an accession number. It consists of a portion of fragment of tissue measuring 0.5 x 0.4x 0.1cm. It is sectioned in 2 pieces and submitted in 1 cassette: A-1 (2).
Microscopic Description
A. There is an asymmetrical proliferation of atypical melanocytes arranged as irregular nests and single cells along the dermoepidermal junction as well as above it. In some areas, there is a more uniform arrangement of junctional nests and intradermal melanocytes in the pattern of a pre-existing dysplastic nevus. A well-controlled MART-1 immunoreaction highlights the melanocytic proliferation.
