Thanks, Jan. 

I'm pretty confident in the demertalogist I am now seeing.  I had been going to Roswell Park in Buffalo when we lived in New York State.  I had a complete skin exam in April and specifically asked about one of the moles recently biopsied.  I was told by the PA doing the exam that she was "not concerned."  At least 3 of the 4 moles I have since had biopsied and both of the basal cell carcinomas were present at that time.  The guy I have been seeing since we moved to Marylandhas been very thorough, very cautious, and very tenacious in trying to understand a pattern that he and numerous colleagues have not encountered before.  Three of the biopsies were examined by a quality insurance committee in which several Hopkins pathologists review the findings of the original pathologist.  I will keep Dr Bastian on my list of possibles, but I think I am getting pretty thorough work from the Hopkins people.

Regarding uniqueness, my wife says that I have always been weird, and that even my abnormal results are not aren't the abnormal results a normal person gets.

Thanks for your response. I think one of the key elements is the term "regression," but the combination of everything is important as well.  The resident did say that just because the literature does not include cases where melanoma was not foung elsewhere does not mean that there are not such cases.  Uneventful cases tend not to be reported.
