I recently had a funky looking mole shaved for biopsy and after going to local lab it was sent onto the Mayo Clinic. Is it most likely then a melanoma?
That is the standard way to deal with severely dysplastic lesions and the final pathology will show that it is all removed to be on the safe side. Better to be taken care of and not labeled a melanoma.

Ok so now the report says doesn’t meet criteria for melanoma but very abnormal and it needs to come out ASAP. So had it out today and she said it could still be down deep or on margins. Didn’t know that was possible
It’s much better than the day they did it. Such a big cut. I read the path reports and says after a few (over my head) numbers that it is worrisome for melanoma. The PRAME was negative at Mayo but I read they can be even with melanoma. Thank you so much thinking of me

@cdee123 How are you doing today with the surgical site? Are they doing a further pathology from what was removed, so it is documented?
