I had a recent shave biopsy and the results were unusual. Path reported both melanoma in situ and squamous cell ca. Any thoughts on the likelihood of such a simultaneous occurrence,? Also, the tentative plan is Mohs surgery. I have concern using Mohs when Melanoma frequently has non-contiguous micro-satellite lesions that would presumable be missed using the Mohs approach. Any thoughts?View Thread
Lesion located ant. chest, R sternum. Mohs showed clear margins on first pass, but some atypia present. Plan anti-metabolite cream(5 FU ??) after surgical site heals; maybe in 3-4 months. Permanent sections/slides were prepared, rather than reading wet specimen. Wound closed the following day. I think Dr. opted for Mohs because of location, bx report of "in situ", and my prior hx of melanoma in situ nearby. So far, so good.View Thread
