A member asked:
Would recurrent melanoma look like a new tiny mole nowhere near the original melanoma site?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Possibly: Depending on the size and thickness of a primary melanoma, predictability of local recurrence and or metastasis to regional nodes can be judged. If a primary melanoma is relatively small and following removal a new pigmented lesion is found elsewhere, there is a possibility that distant spread has occurred or that this is a new primary. With the latter possible situation, excisional bx is needed
