What Melanoma Stage is the following pathologist diagnosis?

[SDA0808]

I would like to know what Melanoma stage is the following diagnosis:
Gross description: 25X10X2 MM
Adjacent to an area of fibrosing granulation tissue, there is a subtle proliferation of melanocytes that are arranged as single units at the dermoepidermal junction.
Diagnosis: Healing biopsy site and focal proliferation of melanocytes as single units at the dermoepidermal junction.
Note: The findings are consistent with the periphery of the previously biopsied malignant melanoma (01-12081)  the surgical margins are fee

Our communities don't have medical doctors answering questions, but even if we did, it seems that physical examination of the tumor is needed.  Your report doesn't mention whether it was ulcerated, or whether it has been determined to be metastatic or not - just that it was consistent with a previous biopsy.  I don't think this will be illuminating, but you may have more information than we can see here: https://www.skincancer.org/skin-cancer-information/melanoma/the-stages-of-melanoma

"The surgical margins are free" is good news - it means that on the very outermost portion of the biopsy, there were no cancerous cells found.

The report will need to be interpreted by your doctor.
