Upstaging From Melanoma in Situ to Invasive Melanoma on the Head and Neck After Complete Surgical Resection.

Background: Melanoma in situ (MIS) diagnosed from a subtotal biopsy may be upstaged to invasive melanoma after resection. The frequency of this phenomenon is markedly variable.

Objective: To quantify the rate of upstaging MIS on the head and neck after resection at this institution, characterize the location of the invasive component relative to the clinically evident lesion, and determine the rate of upstaging with time.
