      Hi all, had a biopsy done two weeks ago pathology report came back with Complete excision is recommended, had it taken out 4 days later Pathology report came back with the following.

      Malignant Melanoma with invasive naevoid component (i-e. naevoid-type malignany meloma), Sub-type Superficial spreading Melanoma, Breslow .95mm, Dermal Mitotic rate 3/mm2, Clark level 4. 

      Made ther mistake of googling lol and naevoid kept coming up as rare.

      In two minds one saying this is nothing to worry about at all and the other saying is this serious. 

      Been referred to clinic can anyone tell me what the next step will involve. 🙂

          I’m not familiar with the type of melanoma you have described. I was diagnosed with superficial spreading melanoma .9mm mitotic rate 1, Clark level 4.

          I had a WLE and a SNLB which came back as one positive mode with a few micrometets. I had a CLND of my left auxiliary nodes. I chose no further treatment. I have been NED for 1 1/2 years.
