Abstract
A dermoscopically suspicious pigmented lesion was excised but near-total block depletion during deeper levels prevented definitive classification and microstaging. This Ethical Dilemma outlines a practical approach based on open disclosure, clear explanation of residual uncertainty, completion excision where appropriate, shared decision-making and follow-up aligned with the agreed management pathway.
