A member asked:
Melanoma in situ early proliferation extends to lateral margin .melanocytic nevis extends focally to base . what does this diagnosis mean?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
You are in trouble: The presence of any benign nevi cells left to the chance for growth usually over a prolonged period of time will continue to transform and occasionally metastasize without regrowth of the primary lesion. If you leave it alone, it will grow on you.
