A member asked:
If a atypical mole is removed years ago and unsure if clear margins obtained... would it have grown back by now and if not assume it was clear margin?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Contact you doctor: You can obtain a copy of the pathology report from your doctor. If you see any regrowth, you should have it seen by a doctor right away.

Mole on right upper back, a DermTech tested positive for LINC00518. Then, I had the atypical nevus punch-excised. Pathology: moderate cytologic atypia. Border is not clean; the nevus cells extend to one lateral margin of the section. Re-excise or no?
