Facial Location and Operating Room Environment are the Risk Factors for Incomplete Excision of Melanocytic Nevi

Abstract: Introduction The management of melanocytic nevi involves many various practitioners with a high number of patients. Data on failure to achieve goals of treatment are scarce. We aimed to determine percentage of incompletely excised nevi and the risk factors responsible. Materials and Methods In this retrospective cohort study, histology reports of all melanocytic nevi excised within our department between January 2014 and June 2015 were considered. Those aimed for stage excision and those with incon… Show more

“…A total of 7.3% of all melanomas and 11.0% of all naevi were incompletely excised. These results are rather comparable to previously reported incomplete excision rates of 9.5–23.9% for melanomas ( 17 21 ) and 10.8% for naevi ( 22 ). Furthermore, the high rate of incomplete excisions among GPs (19.6%) is noteworthy.…”

“…The current study found a higher incomplete excision rate for melanocytic lesions located in the head and neck area. Similar associations have previously been reported for naevi, non-melanoma skin-cancer and melanoma (21)(22)(23)(24)(29)(30)(31). Some of these studies included cases of lentigo maligna and lentigo maligna melanoma.…”

“…3 Several factors have been associated with the treatment of facial pigmented nevus, such as size, location, and medical conditions related to histologic type. 4,5 We propose a punch technique as a novel method for the treatment of facial pigmented melanocytic nevus with curative and good cosmetic results when compared with other existing surgical or non-surgical methods.…”
