A member asked:

A doctor is recommending an incisional biopsy for primary acquired melanosis. ive read that could be dangerous if cancer is present because it can cause the cancer to spread. is that a concern?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Yes. An excisional biopsy that removed the whole lesion would be preferable and provide optimal specimen for the pathologist to provide a diagnostic opinion. Wish you good health!
