I guess they are being consistant in the sense that, at the time of my first atypia, I never had melanoma, so they just did a watch and wait.  The one on my leg had atypical features, but was not atypical on the cellular level, so watch and wait. As far as on my back, now that I have had previous melanoma, they are going to do a punch just to be sure they got all of it.

I am going in for my punch on Friday, so I will talk to the doctor about everything in detail then.

I received my results today.  The WLE came back clear, and the mole on my leg came back mild atypia.  I will have to get a copy of those reports.  I had another mole that came back a mild atypia, so I am not suprised, but just need to watch the area to see if it comes back.  My other mild atypia that was shaved never came back either.

Thank you very much for the reply.  From looking up all the terms, etc, that is what I thought, and also pretty much what my dermatologist told me as well, but I thought I should put it online here as well, just to see if there were any contrary comments / things I should be asking my derm.

I had my WLE yesterday afternoon, as well as a mole on my leg that I requested to be checked, doctor said it looked like nothing, but if it would make me feel more comfortable she would biopsy. Didn't feel bad yesterday afternoon, but in the middle of the night things got much more uncomfortable trying to sleep, and working and driving is much more irritating today, but overall not a huge deal.  I think it is the discomfort combined with the anxiety that is making everything overall seem bad. I am pretty anxious about my results, and am told I will likely not hear till Monday, but hopefully Friday.  

I do have a copy of my report, and had planned to post it here, but of course forgot it at home.  I will post it tonight.  I had the operating doctor translate the report to me in plain english, but I am hoping to get a "second reading" from the fine group here on these boards.

Thank you so much for your replies, they are helping me to find some direction when like so many others after a diagnosis like this, my head is spinning.  I will definitely message Janner, thank you again.
