Atypical melanocytic proliferation on sensitive preauricular check

Jun 2023

Histopathological assessment of a melanocytic lesion on the check could not definitively rule out melanoma leading to the use of GEP prior to determining surgical management.

Abnormally pigmented lesion with uncertain malignant potential

Jun 2023

With benign GEP results, dermatopathologist adjusts diagnosis to a benign neoplasm and patient avoids re-excision.
