Lentigo Maligna

Hi, 

Just wanted to see has anyone experienced a similar situation. 
I had biopsy on a mole 6 weeks ago. This week it has come back as Lentigo Maligna, met with the consultant who wants to now remove the rest with narrow safety margin to see if any of the remaining mole is invasive or still coming back as a lentigo maligna, just feeling stressed after waiting weeks for what I thought was a better outcome to now feeling deflated again that there is still a worry that the remaining mole may be invasive. 

  • Hello MFC927

    I'm sorry to hear that following a recent mole biopsy, you've been told that the results showed Lentigo Maligna and that you're now waiting for surgery and more information. It's understandable that you're feeling deflated and worried. 

    There's some helpful information about lentigo maligna on the British Association of Dermatologists website that you may find helpful. You might also like to read through this thread that was recently posted by  who was diagnosed by the same. There are some helpful replies to that post. 

    If it would help to chat things through with one of our nurses, you're welcome to call them on 0808 800 4040, Monday to Friday 9am to 5pm. 

    Best wishes,
