Suspisious Cells in Mole

I had a mole removed and they had found suspicious cells.  They went back in and dug deeper and wider.  That was three years ago.  Since then the scar became very painful and itchy.  I just had a Scar revision done and I was told that the pathology report came back and something was found so they sent it back to a different lab.

My question is, what type of suspicious cells do they send in.  And IF it is something bad, what will they possibily do to correct it.

I know anything said are only possibilities but I would like to know in advance of anything and everyting.

Thank you
S.

Hi,
Most moles are sent for histology after the removal. This is the analysis of the mole which is done at a separate specialised laboratory using a high-powered microscope to detect any abnormal cells. Although most moles can look normal to the naked eye, occasionally early abnormal cells can be lower in the skin, which could cause skin cancer - hence the need to send for analysis.

If the diagnosis is skin cancer then further investigations, treatment and follow up appointments may be necessary.
Most turn out to be simple, benign moles.  Others are early skin cancers which are usually cured by this simple surgical removal.

Because melanoma can be hard to diagnose, patients should consider having their biopsy sample checked by a second pathologist.
The prognosis (chance of recovery) and treatment options depend on the following:

The stage of melanoma (whether cancer is found in the outer layer of skin only, or has spread to the lymph nodes, or to other places in the body.
Whether there was bleeding or ulceration at the primary site.
The location and size of the tumor.
The patient’s general health.
