Summary

Non-interventional study to evaluate the utility of removing Dysplastic Nevi with a defined 2 mm margin.

Detailed description

This is a prospective, observational study to evaluate the utility of removing Dysplastic Nevi (DN) with a defined 2 mm margin. This is a non-interventional study that will observe the pathology results following a standard of care biopsy. Principal Investigator (PI) hypothesize that the majority of lesions removed with this technique will have margins free of nevus cells on examination of histopathological sections. Hence, pathologists will not suggest that an additional excision be performed to remove any residual nevus. PI also hypothesize that if biopsy sites are followed over time, the rate of nevus recurrence will be low, because investigators would have removed the majority, if not all of the lesion at the time of initial biopsy.
