WLE for Severely Dysplastic Nevus

Hi,

I recently had a mole removed from my right breast. 
It come back as A typical severely dysplastic and required a WLE as precaution. (previous stage 2 melanoma on right side of my neck & melanoma genetic defect) 

I have had the WLE, all went well but have received an appointment to go back.

Between my mother and I we are overly familiar with the process and good results vs bad etc.

As the dysplastic Nevus was described as clear margins upon the first biopsy, im shocked at the appointment. 

Has anyone ever had something clear then come back otherwise after the WLE?

thanks all :)
