Olivia is 23 weeks pregnant. Her pregnancy was uneventful until last week when she found a suspicious looking mole on her left shoulder. Her obstetrician sent Olivia to a dermatologist for removal of the mole. The pathology report showed malignant melanoma. Olivia will be undergoing a wide excision procedure to make sure that all of the melanoma has been removed. Further treatment will depend on how the procedure goes and if the excision produces clean margins. Olivia is seeing her OB doctor for clearance for the procedure. They are hoping to do the procedure using a local anesthesia. If the excision proves to be too extensive for a local, she will have an anesthesiology consult and they will proceed from there.
