dysplastic nevus????

---

what is it and how serious is it? what causes it? how common is it and what can it devlop into.
it was byopsied and the dermatologist said it was precancerous adn moderate. i also am now supposed to wear sunscreen whenever i leave the house so im guessing it is caused by the sun
A dysplastic nevus is a mole that has changed in appearance. One really has to biospsy (take a sample) and examine it under a microscope to call it dsyplastic. There can be different degrees of dyplasia. It can be caused by age, sun, contact, or chemicals.
It may become cancerous although most do not. It would need to be examined periodically by a dermatologist where they would measure it and take periodic pictures. If small it may simply be removed.  (+ info)

Dysplastic compound nevus w/marked melanocytic atypia?

---

I had a mole biopsied and now they want to re-excise the area with concern for possible melanoma in situ. I can't get an appointment for 31 days with the Dermatologist who performed the biopsy or should I get an appointment with a general surgeon to do the re-excision?
Thanks!

Dysplastic nevus as compared to melanoma?

---

How can one tell the difference from just looking.
A dysplastic nevus is growth or mark on the skin, called a mole, that is larger than normal. Also called an atypical mole. It will not change, itch or cause any probems. A melanoma will often change size, colour and itch or bleed;  (+ info)

I have just been informed that I have mild dysplastic compound nevus...?

---

But that they got all the tissue and I need to have the area checked in six months. This is the second mole I have had with this issue.

Should I expect this to continue? Am I a high risk for cancer?
I am not fair skinned and I have avoided tanning for the past seven years. I always wear sunscreen.
if you are fair skinned and have a lot of moles, yes. Avoid tanning booths like the plague and protect your skin in the sun, minimize exposure as much as you can, always wear a sun screen.  (+ info)

Is dysplastic nevus with moderate atypia skin cancer?

---

My friend went to the dermatologist and they removed a mole which they diagnosed as dysplastic compound nevus with moderate atypia.

This is the full examination result: "Sections show a skin biopsy in which tthe epidermis contains melanocytes which show moderate cytological atpyps and dot the basal layer in a lentiginous fashion, extending laterally past the confines of the dermal nevus cell component. Focally, these aggregate to form nests and bridges between elongated rete. The dermis exhibits concentric eosinophilic fibrosis and contains a lymphocytic infiltrate interspersed amongst nevus cells in the superficial dermis. The morphological features are in keeping with those of a compound nevus with architectural disorder and moderate cytological melanocytic atypia. Where the true margin of resection is visible, excision appears complete. Nevertheless, clinical correlation is appropriate; any residual pigmented lesion should be completely, but conservatively excised. "

What does this all mean? Is it cancerous (melanoma)? Should she be seeking treatment?
This report says that your friend had precancerous changes - so her mole was becoming a melanoma, but not a melanoma as yet.

Clear margins is good - it means that there were no abnormal cells near the cut edges of the piece of skin removed and so it is likely that everything was removed, but if any of the mole remains, it needs to be cut out.

It would also be advisable for your friend to continue to have regular skin checks.  (+ info)

Severely Atypical Dysplastic Nevus?

---

Hey all,

A few weeks ago I had a mole removed from my scalp that came back pre-cancerous; a severely atypical dysplastic nevus. Sadly, tomorrow morning I have to have surgery to remove 2 or 3 inches from my scalp to make sure it doesn't come back as a melanoma. My question is this: how bad is the scarring for something like this? The lesion was on the part line of my hair, so I know they are going to have to shave, but I have no idea how bad it is going to be. Has anyone else had this done before?
A good cosmetic surgeon should be involved in the closure, resulting in minimal scarring.  (+ info)
