Dysplastic nevi removal and residual. Does it mean that I have melanoma?

If the most was dysplastic and needed to be removed it should be fully excised.  Please see your physician to have this excised completely and send for analysis.  Best, Dr. Emer.

A dysplastic nevus is considered a precancerous growth, not a melanoma. In our office, we will do
an excision with suture closure to get clear margins for all moles that have
moderate to severe atypia. For a mildly atypical mole we will observe the area
and, if any pigmentation recurs in the biopsy site in the future, a very small
excision is done (often with a small punch biopsy tool) for a minimal scar. We
also follow all of our "atypical mole" patients by doing full skin
examinations every six months.
