A member asked:
For what reasons has my skin tumor returned after surgical removal?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Missed some?: The excision might have missed a mmicroscopic portion and it grew back. Or, you could have grown another tumor right next to it. Some malignant tumors can be very aggressive and recur frequently. Either way, please return to your physician if you havent already.
