For the first time I had a small mole removed . I have just found out by post that the biopsy result has shown a dysplastic naevus.
I have been referred to the Skin Multi -Disciplinary meeting to see if I need anything more doing.
Before I phone up can you please advise what questions I should be asking.
Thanks.
Hi and welcome to the online community
That's good news that your suspect mole has turned out to be a dysplastic naevi.
If you take a look at this leaflet produced by Oxford University Hospitals about them you will see that there are three types which are mildly abnormal, moderately abnormal or severely abnormal. If the mole is one of the first two types and has been completely removed then you probably won't need any further surgery but if it's the last type you might need extra skin removing from around the site of the original mole.
Let us know what is decided at the MDT meeting.

Hi Marion
That's good that they gave you a choice as to how you wanted to proceed. I understand how worried you might feel having had bladder cancer so can completely understand why you'd opt to have further surgery.
A few months ago a red 'lesion' appeared on the same arm as I'd had a melanoma removed from. My dermatologist gave me the choice of having it removed or not and, like you, I decided to have the surgery to remove it. Thankfully it turned out to be completely benign but there's always that nagging worry!
I hope you feel more reassured as well now that the SCNS has told you that it's benign.
